I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2012
Interview
applied via college info event. wrote a nice cover letter to HR and he forwarded me a chance for phone interview.
phone interview setup with application. interview consist of Mech E asking me how i solve problems and how would I ask for help
then i waited 2 weeks and email invitation to Seattle.
4 interviews, however, i only had 3 technical and 1 HR. i realized when I only had 1 HR interview; i was on the short end?
Not too technical, only a few simple oral questions about coding skills. Other questions are behavioral, such as asking what's your biggest challenge so far or what is your strength/weakness.
I was directly invited to the final round. Three sessions followed, each lasting 45 minutes, with a 15-minute break between them. It was a rigorous process but an exciting experience overall.
Took about month to hear from them. Email described that your papers have been read and your interview is being scheduled. Next week the recruiter invites to a meeting the next day. 1st meeting with the recruiting manager. Sadly not invited to proceed. I was asked during the interviewing about skills that I did not have.
