Applied online and ended up doing an on-campus interview. Showed up to an employee that seemed like he wanted no part in the hiring process, which is understandable but still kind of disheartening.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2018
Interview
The first stage for me was a phone call with a recruiter, asking me about my experience and past project experience as well as two small conceptual technical questions (no coding). Then from there, there were 4 onsite interviews where they were technical whiteboard interviews.

Question 1
Q: Each interviewer asked whatever they wanted. Very similar to cracking the coding interview type questions.

Interview
30-minute whiteboard interview @ my University. Initially questions about resume and experience, then tech related coding questions on the whiteboard. Interviewer seemed distant and uninterested. Could tell they had made up their mind before the interview had really progressed that far.
