Interviewed Mar 2010 in Raleigh, NC (took 2 weeks)
I applied to Microsoft for an internship on the basis of a campus job posting. About 2-3 weeks later, I got an email asking me for a convenient time to schedule a phone interview. I was informed that the phone interview will be very technical and will involve hands-on coding. However, the phone interview turned out to be a general HR interview rather than a technical interview. Your answers are then noted down by the interviewer and attached to the resume and is circulated to various hiring managers. If selected, the next step would have been an on-site interview at Seattle. I was unfortunately sent a rejection letter after 3 days following the phone interview.

It was the same pattern. He asked me to tell about myself. Then why I chose Software Development Engineer among SDE, SDET and Program Manager. Then he asked a C programming question. He gave me an array of unsorted numbers and asked to sort. But the restriction is that any number of reads but number of writes should be minimized. I gave him an algorithm and missed one case to deal with duplicates. Then he asked me to ask any questions.
