I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sep 2015
Interview
It involved one phone interview which was quite casual and discussed what the role would entail as well as my previous experience and qualifications. No trick questions and very positive experience. The interviewer made me feel at ease and the role sounded interesting and well related to my educational background and professional experience.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Had 1 technical interview, 2 design interviews and 1 behavioral interview. The interviewers were all from different divisions and the behavioral interview was very short.
I tend to be nervous during technical interviews but the interviewer was very friendly. The design questions were fun and it was overall a good experience.
