I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
College recruiting, flew out to campus interviews, had 4 on site interviews, contacted 1 day afterward with results. Interviewers were all very friendly and shared why they chose Microsoft over startups/etc. why the position was exciting. Definitely changed my impression of Microsoft as a great place to work and persuaded me to join the team over a startup offer, even for the SDET position.

Question 1
Nothing too difficult, wanted to know how to track duplicate words in a book.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
I applied through the Microsoft career site for software development internships. I had a campus interview for only 30 minutes, with resume questions, 1 easy/standard coding question (on scratch paper), and me asking them questions.
Two weeks later I was told I did not pass the first round, but they are willing to fly me back if I am willing to interview for the SDET position. During the onsite round, I interviewed with 4 people. They still asked me to write some codes, plus a follow up "how are you going to test it".

Question 1
The problems that I remember:
1. Write a lock
2. how do you test a generator for random numbers?
3. write a data structure that can take input integers and keep track of the k largest of the numbers typed in so far
