which one would you choose?
if it’s a good team do MSFT. However caliber of engineers higher at Dropbox
I previously interned at both Microsoft and Dropbox. I would highly recommend Dropbox for an internship over Microsoft. The quality of engineers is significantly higher, and the types of projects that you will get to work on will be more interesting and have higher impact. I say this as someone who was on one of the “better” teams at Microsoft. I don’t want to reveal the exact team because that would reveal who I am, but think along the caliber of TypeScript, Azure Cloud, AI Research. While the products Microsoft build are great, I don’t think the same speed of execution matches those of smaller companies, which may make it difficult to get as much done during an internship. For full time offers, Dropbox can offer higher TC as well.
