UX Designer Intern
Pros: Great learning experience for entry-level students; it's a huge company with many resources, and they make an effort in the internship program to help you meet other interns and full time employees. Although there are relatively few designers at Microsoft, the designers I met and worked with were really great, talented people who were willing to share their knowledge and expertise. It was a fun environment and people are approachable.
Cons: Projects can move slowly. There are too many different teams doing different things, and it's hard to take advantage of the abundant knowledge and skills or to collaborate across teams.
