Too Long; Didn't Read
The web is full of resources related to internship interview prep for Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and other big tech companies (just to name a few).
But when I accepted the offer for my summer Software Engineer internship at Microsoft, I was not able to find useful information about the onboarding process, timeframes, and general structure of the internship -- at least in terms of expectations, contributions, and approach to the team in big corporations.
In this article, I will summarize the onboarding process and core events that have characterized my internship, reflecting also on the growth given by this experience.
