I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, OR) in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied through a recruiter and had a phone call interview. The phone interview was behavioral with a lot of define technical terms (see interview questions). After 2-3 weeks, I was invited to the Hiring Event in Redmond campus. The recruiters sent recommendations on how to prepare for the technical interview. I had 4 technical interviews in a day and everything was paid by Microsoft! My interviewers asked a few behavioral questions and one technical question.
A leetcode style test with three problems, then three interviews with different managers ( for each it was a coding problem and behavioral questions). Each interview was 1 hour long
