Looking to Connect with Someone who works for Microsoft

Hi, I am currently a junior at a non-target in upstate New York who is looking to connect over zoom, a cell call, or any means. I am really interested in Microsoft's rotational program and I would love to speak with someone who works either in the program or in any department in Microsoft. I would love to get to know more about the company culture and work-life balance. 

Some stats about me, I have a 3.8 cumulative GPA and a 4.0 in my finance major. I have served in multiple different roles in extracurriculars at my college during these past 3 years. I have held an internship with a boutique hedge fund last summer, an internship with a private wealth management group during the winter ($600mill advisory aum), and I am currently interning with a Fortune 500 company as a corporate finance role. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sorry just saw this, I would love to, but I think there's only 2 who currently work at Microsoft and neither are in the finance side. Is it okay to reach out to current employees who did not go to my college and just ask to meet with them?
