I’m saying random mid-size to exclude hackers with heavy resource and motivation to hack said company. I would assume Microsoft, banks, google etc all get heavily attacked every day. But like a random mid-size company for the average joe. How do they infiltrate e.g. their servers and take ransom of all their project files?

Most “hacks” are really just social engineering exploits through well-known channels.
Fake the email header, send your target a link, see if they’ll click through and download the ransomware.
Fake the email header, send your target a “password reset” link, see if they’ll click through and give you their username and password.
Email your target a zip file containing malware, see if they’ll install it.
Call a receptionist or an admin and impersonate an employee looking for help; see if they will give out information about the company’s VPN or other sensitive information.
Call payroll, impersonate an employee wanting to make a change in their direct deposit or tax withholding, say you can’t use the company website, and ask to email them a file. Email them a malicious file, wait for them to open it.
