I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in May 2015
Interview
Microsoft held an programming competition on my university, and later asked the competitors to send their resumès. Two or three weeks later I received an email to a website in order to schedule an interview on skype. The first part of the interview was purely behavioral, and the rest some design questions.
