CONTENT TEAM, Last day of internship!
Hey there, James and Holly blogging here for the last time as our internship has sadly come to an end and if we don’t leave security will be escorting us out! We have been the content team for the blog this year and have managed all the posts that come to you each week. We [...]
CHESTER STEVEN, Technical Account Manager
My year at Microsoft has been life changing. The opportunities that were given to me and the investment in my development has been far greater than I initially suspected. Microsoft holds employee satisfaction at the heart of its mantra and really brings out the best in people. The work environment is friendly, fast, innovative and [...]
Team Off-sites
Off-sites are a big part of Microsoft culture and you may have heard our interns and MACHs mention them in their blogs. They are essentially events or days out that take place out of the office for team building and/or strategy and planning meetings. Here are two intern’s perspectives about off-sites: “Earlier in the year [...]
CALUM DAVIS, Server and Tools Product Marketing
Built for the Future. Ready Now. I binged it. “Why work at Microsoft?” The results were unsurprising. The opportunities, the training, the company heritage, the industry and of course working in an extremely interesting and exciting industry. As an outsider looking to join Microsoft these things might intrigue or appeal to you. Whilst these things [...]
JESS JOHNSON, UK Service Delivery
Hello again, It is sad to write that this will be my final blog as it is coming up to the end of my year with Microsoft. I am glad that my contract has been extended for an extra month; however this year has gone by so quickly. It will seem very strange that in [...]
OLIVIA ROCHE, Marketing
This time last year, all of the Interns we were about to take over from warned us how quickly this year would fly past. At that point, I made it my mission to pursue as many experiences as I could this year, and to make sure I could leave the Internship knowing I’d gained as [...]

I sit within Corporate Accounts as an Internal Account Manager as part of a core account team looking after the Manufacturing and Communications Sector. I work closely with partners to ensure that the right [...]
TERENCE LIM, Dream.Build.Launch Hackathon!
Hi everyone! My name is Terence, and I’m an Intern to MACH with the Developer and Platform Evangelist (DPE) team in Microsoft Singapore. A short introduction about myself.

ANDY COKER, Services
Hi everyone! Working for Microsoft this year has been an incredible experience. It’s felt like living a dream in many ways. The thought of clearing my desk and saying my goodbyes gives me a ‘last day of school’ feeling… *sniff* I’m one half of the Internal Communications team for the largest business group in the [...]
BARBARA LANDGRAF, Counting down to MGX
I’m Barbara, one of the technical MACHs at Microsoft. We’re nearing the end of our first year at Microsoft since we started in September 2011. When we first joined we were very excited and couldn’t wait to get started in our new roles. Personally, I am a Technical Account Manager (TAM) for on premise customers [...]
