I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2018
Interview
Started with an on-campus interview, was asked a LC-med and solved it. Heard back two weeks later and was told that I made it past the interview, but that there were no slots available to interview.
A week later was given an option of two dates (picked Nov 30) so I had a month to prepare.
Asked a mixture of design, behavioral, and technical questions. Everything was paid for / reimbursed so that was nice.
If you can do LC easys, and medium easy you should be fine.
There were 4 back to back 45-min interviews.
The hiring process consists of a HackerRank home exam, followed by three technical interviews covering LeetCode-style problems and system architecture. Once this is done, you will have a final HR interview.
