I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Auckland, ) in Apr 2015
Interview
I was asked a couple of behavioural questions, followed by a technical question. The interviewer was quiet for most of the interview while I wrote code on paper. I did not get any reply after the interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2014
Interview
I was contacted for an on-campus interview by email. It was my first technical interview, so I was not as well prepared as I could have been, but frankly I expected more out of the interviewer. The interviewer was late for the scheduled slot and made me reschedule to a slot later in the day. At the end of the interview, the interviewer bluntly let me know that I was ill-prepared for the interview and lacking in technical knowledge, which I slightly disagree with considering I'm currently employed and have gotten many interviews since the first.
