I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Beijing, Beijing) in Mar 2010
Interview
Take two hours for two rounds of interviews. For the first interview, it consists three parts: 1. self-introduction and some questions about your CV, 2. writing code 3. interesting topics. For the 2nd interview, it is mainly focus on the complexity of algorithms and coding. Finally, you can raise several questions. The interviewers are nice.

Tell me three main components of the project that you worked on
1st round phone call with talent team. discussing experience and the roles they have in the space. Then onto some technical questions and talking about the rest of the interview process
Fast and quick but the questions were tricky. Interviewer was nice and we got along well. The interview process was efficient, and communication was clear throughout. I appreciated the professionalism and friendliness, though preparation is key for the challenging questions. Overall, a smooth experience with a supportive atmosphere.
