I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2015
Interview
A friend working at Microsoft as an intern ask me if I would be interested by an intern position and I give him my résumé. Few weeks later, I got an eMail from the University recruiter and I scheduled a phone screen interview. Basically, I got HR and behavioral questions.
One week after the phone interview, I received an invitation to come at Redmond for final round interview. I got 4 interviews that day and all of them were technical.

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
