I did my phone screen ~a month after applying, and got invited to the final round the next day. The interview was chill and pleasant. They reuse questions in my case so do some google before interview.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2018
Interview
The interview process began with an on-campus interview and then a series of phone interviews. Finally, I was flown out to Seattle for several in-person interviews. The interviews started more focused on creativity but as I progressed became more technical based. For example, I was asked to complete a matrix.
This was a First Round Explore Phone interview
The interviewer was chill and eased my nerves by repeating my answers back to me in a more concise manner.
