Microsoft's ambitions to put a computer on every desk have
evolved to put a computing device just about anywhere and connect
it to the cloud rather than anchor it to a desk. Besides the
Windows operating system and Office suite of productivity programs,
Microsoft makes tablets (Surface), game consoles (Xbox), and
smartphones (Lumia). It even introduced its first laptop computer
in 2015. Still software -- for consumers and businesses -- is
Microsoft's biggest source of revenue.
Microsoft has a well-earned reputation as a top employer and top
firm in its field. Its HR Trax program offers a challenging
internship opportunity for high-performing HR talent. This 12-week
program is thoughtfully designed to provide interns with strategic
projects, and offers all the exposure and opportunities as the
full-time rotation.
The HR Trax program is designed to provide a custom experience,
accelerating an intern's ability to reach their career goals. They
will given challenging assignments that will help them become
proficient in Microsoft and HR competencies, including compensation
and benefits, HR operations, staffing/recruiting, leadership and/or
management development, diversity and inclusion, mergers and
acquisitions, program management and/or what it means to be an HR
Business Partner. Mentoring and feedback from HR leaders are
consistently provided throughout your rotations to ensure
accelerated development.
HR Trax rotations are primarily at Microsoft's corporate
headquarters, which are located in Redmond, WA, USA. There are
limited opportunities each year for international rotations.
