I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Microsoft came on my campus and I got a phone interview through that. The phone interview was 45min and was mostly to see how much I knew about Microsoft, the tech industry, and a few behavioral questions. About a week after that I was told I was invited to a Microsoft interview day in Seattle. There was a networking event the night before the interview, and the interview day consisted of 4 1on1 interviews for 1 hour each. They will be communicating with each other during the interviews and will ask you things that the others forgot. My questions were mostly behavioral and experience related, but I did get a few technical and design questions. I waited for an hour after the interviews in the lobby and was offered the job!
The interview begin with shortlisting candidate after which 2 rounds of interview rounds begin with first round as technical followed by Hiring Manager Round. The interview experience was smooth within the given time slot. The candidate need to join the teams calls with their recruitment team and get your interview done.
