Interview
I had a connection that allowed me to be interviewed quickly and hear back within a couple days. Microsoft was very generous and it was a great position, but I ultimately chose to intern elsewhere that summer. Their campus was beautiful and the interview was more conversational than anything - they wanted to get a feel for my interests.
