I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2021
Interview
There were two rounds of interviews. The first round was an over the phone interview with a university recruiter and contained questions about my resume as well as basic coding theory questions. The second round consisted of two interviews with different people. The first interview was a brain teaser with no coding, and the second interview was the coding interview. I thought I did really bad during both, but still got a job offer!
