I applied online in September 2018. In February 2019, I received an email from a recruiter asking for additional information to set up a phone interview. I talked to a FTE who basically asked about what I study, why Microsoft, etc. I made it through to the next round for in person interviews. I flew out to Redmond where I did a presentation of my portfolio to a group of FTEs and then after lunch I had 3 interviews, each 45 minutes with the people who saw my presentation. I answered questions about my work ethic, my experience, and how I approach problem solving. Less than a week after that, I received my internship offer.

Mostly asked about dsa. Great interviewers gave subtle hints and generally encouraged thinking. They found fallacies and wanted me to correct them.
