I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Berkeley, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
The interview was not too bad. There is a little bit of soft skills interviewing, but a majority is technical questions. Leetcode and doing your research online is great preparation techniques for this interview. Make sure to know your leadership and problem solving skills and experiences and know your resume inside out.
