About the role:

Working as a Technical/Support Engineer Intern for Microsoft was truly empowering!

“The internship at Microsoft Romania was my first ever true work experience. Being an engineering student close to finishing studies, gathering true work life experience was essential for the start of my career and I am very happy that Microsoft chose to trust me. As a Technical Engineer not only I had the opportunity to learn new and exciting stuff, some of which helped me in the final University year, but also to develop myself as a person and to learn how the hidden heroes that keep the IT world running do their job day by day. After this amazing experience it's no wonder that I decided to remain with Microsoft in it's Aspire Experience Program as a Premier Field Engineer. I am excited to see how I will develop next amongst the awesome people here.” – Petrut Belingher, Microsoft Romania
