Feedback on the Microsoft and Amazon visits
07/16/2014
Nothing beats hands-on experience to discover professional life. Company visits are therefore a good way to discover the reality of business.
In June, a large number of students from IÉSEG (with MBA and Grande Ecole profiles), had the opportunity to visit two internationally recognised organisations: the French headquarters of Microsoft (Issy Moulineaux) and the new logistics platform Amazon (Lauwin-Planque).
These visits allow companies to develop their image as employers by putting forward their recruitment needs to our students, be they internship offers, employment or even Graduate Programs.
Organisation of the Microsoft visit:
- Introductionto the company: key figures, values, presentation of the headquarters etc.
- The Explorer and Microsoft digital apartment visits and demonstration of the products on exhibition
- Visit of the open-spaces and the immersive class which is a space dedicated to Education
- Intervention of Omer Waysman, the Windows Phone product manager, on the strategy of the Microsoft phone
Organisation of the Amazon visit:
- Company presentation: organisation, «business model», site
- Guided tour of site reception area: loading and reception areas, storage…
- Visit to the production site: pick-up points, final order processing before dispatch
Further company visits will take place in the near future notably to the Volvo industrial site and to Disneyland Paris focusing on marketing.
