Microsoft is how to work in some experience

2019 summer internship at Microsoft Shanghai for three months, can be considered in the Microsoft "work", here to talk about my work experience a Microsoft SWE INTERN eyes.

It impresses Microsoft's meals. Best breakfast, followed by lunch, dinner worst. Of course, since Microsoft is not overtime, so no dinner, this simple dinner just to catch the bus back home hungry people do not need to cook their own food, it can be considered acceptable.
Breakfast has grasping cake, pancakes, fried dumplings, waffles, ravioli, noodles, porridge, eggs, milk and other colored meals.




When it comes to dining I would have to mention the pantry.
Pantry There are a lot of free drinks, as well as health tea (sweet-scented osmanthus honey, barley tea, lemon tea ......), have snacks, and coffee, is said to use the star dad coffee beans (coffee machine but that looks a bit complicated I did not go by ......)
fruit, and if the aunt is among the fruits, tea will be cut and then told us to come over to eat. If you are pear, orange, cucumber, it will help us to the station. Express too, sent the company's express delivery, there will be hand carried to the station.


The working environment is good, a larger station, two monitors, a desktop and a laptop. However, because interns do not deserve the name, where I VS China Merchants Group as interns this year a little more, no place, so are more than a dozen interns work on a temporary table, but the Dynamic Retail and Azure Stack, etc. interns and FTE groups are the same office environment.

Public facilities is very rich, games room, billiards, fitness, and basketball court ...... but I did not experience it wants to eleven.
It was always the game room at noon, singing that position is empty never seen before.
Billiards there seems okay, sometimes to go when there are vacancies.
The fifth floor there is a place to sleep and take a nap very comfortable.
There is said to be a hot to grab all grab a massage chair.






The park environment is pretty good, after lunch with a small partner can walk.
There are many bus lines, and basically have only one line at a two-off point, do not worry about to get to his home to several stations in the future.
Do a shuttle bus cards can take any one line.






There are many online benefits, such as free Microsoft Excel produced, PowerPoint course, this now because I have less than, they did not go to sign up.
150 knife Azure free credit every month, this is the biggest attraction, because 150 knife, take a blog, put forward GitLab, a cloud plate, pitted a Minecraft server, are more than sufficient. However, because after about leaving this would not be used again, so I did not try.
In addition to Office and Windows activation code, you can apply for five. The Xbox Ultimate member, you can apply for one year. That have applied for, and got, but until now have not spent ......
entry and exit process is relatively smooth, feeling HR are also specially care of our interns. Entry the next day to run the job cards, Checkout List signature and submission leave very quickly, pay off the table and recyclers card, immediately gave me the internship certificate, then you can go home.

Having a Microsoft environment, the following should be said that some work-related things.
I was most comfortable is flexible working hours. Do not worry about a minute late is no breakfast, do not worry about a minute late was docked a half-day wages. Sometimes I school in the morning something, processed, noon to go to the company is completely OK, and even a few times I did not advance with the mentor / manager said I would arrive late for a long time in advance. Once I went on Friday to take a high-speed rail Ningbo test GRE, so I got into high-speed rail realized - and so, I feel like I have not told my mentor today leave eh ...... So, a micro-channel made in the past, a return OK come.
Of course, this is as intern, part-time and self-willed as the intern to have. I feel there will be some regular employees or attendance requirements.
I'd wages and benefits did not ask, but that leave welfare should be good, the group was inside bursts vacation, a break is a week ...... Later we have learned from HR to mobilize the regularization of the General Assembly, the welfare is good.

Wages, then, because I'm not positive, so too embarrassed to talk to HR confirmed, but there is Kenji intern from a small partner learned, turned positive after the first year of the base is 230,000, get one million a year ago 4 years knife stock. The only reference to the undergraduate possible every month low 3 1000-5 thousands.
To be honest, in Shanghai, the wages are not high.
My own job is to add a new feature to one of plugin VS Code. Azure IoT Toolkit is a Send D2C Message function.
How should I say, I am still very challenging, not the same as school science, even with the projects I do in school are not the same.
Microsoft is required on the code specification is still relatively high, sometimes I write a function too long, mentor will tell me that you see if you can split a split; sometimes require new features added to keep the old behavior with consistent. In addition, I was asked the most is why do we need this, do we really need this ......
there are sometimes required from the user's point of view, they will not feel these three entrances confusion, this spacing is not too wide, this color is not comfortable enough ......
I think Fenng said a word: how to be "user experience" good? What you do for each other must be considered, and you really take into account. Sometimes, we consider this behavior to each other, also called empathy.
Finally, I left a number Pull Request, a Blog and a Wiki.
Will not elaborate here, anyway, after the National Day to issue a new version, are open source, you can go directly to GitHub, DevBlogs look at one.
In addition, I participated in the Microsoft Hackathon 2019, met a lot of interesting little partner, has also been a lot of FTE's help, we finally got The Most Impactful Award. I am responsible for part of the Solution IoT Edge has been placed on my GitHub.
Hackathon I find time alone to write an essay of it, otherwise this article would be too long.
Did not expect to have to say so long, then you say that people at Microsoft.
People are very nice.
Meeting when talking and laughing, very harmonious atmosphere, not the kind of hierarchy guarded. On several occasions before the meeting, I arrived early, the boss sometimes chatted yesterday with the fitness of things that other colleagues, the family bought any new equipment ......
boss often invited him to dinner, the new museum wing, restaurant ......
bus driver is also very good, I have a point of view in the phone while you wait Bilibili shuttle in the morning, I did not notice the train came, the master turned down deliberately, walked next to me, reminding me got in the car.
In addition, the headset fell on the bus the next day the master has helped me close up and asked me, "this headset is that you do, I have the impression as if you sit in that position," ......
boss and other FTE are my world view perfect also played a big role.
Once the boss comes to me and asked me if I had positive intention. After learning of my intention to go abroad, the boss told me analyze the graduate school, security research, positive, various pros and cons of going abroad, my point really is standing give me advice, rather than to say: You're positive on the best.
I remember the boss said to me: Now that you have made this decision, according to the decision to go, after all, is not very tricky decision, I can not say that this decision must be better than the other or not. The boys go away and try nothing wrong, the experience can be considered over.
Finally, I would like to quote a word to express my gratitude to all who helped me, so I have a better understanding of the world's mentor, manager, FTEs's.
People in the choice of which way to go is very stubborn, not force the slightest, what you most want to do anything. As long as you strive for, okay only came to know, ten years later come back to look at the decision of the year, could look forward to another road circumstances, imagine yourself if I had chose another path, then now what will become, but never regretted their decision then why not choose the other way, it could do that has been very good.
Microsoft's three-month internship ended.
I am grateful for the selfless help and guidance of FTE, thank so many interesting small partner encountered.
Mountains and water wide, destined goodbye.
