I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
It was a very brief (30 minute) process. We briefly talked about my resume and then dove into coding challenges. After that, we just chatted about microsoft and the industry in general. Good times!

I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Sep 2019
Interview
Good. The interviewer rushed it heavily to go to the next candidate before even starting the interview. I wish it didn't feel so hopeless even before we started. It definitely taught me that the 4/5 are not the only or best option.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sep 2019
Interview
Had a phone screen first, then two interviews at a conference. Some technical, surprisingly a lot of behavioral questions. Prepare some examples of group work and technical projects to talk about, and also research company culture and values.
