I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Technical online test. A technical skill interview which covered all parts of the internship followed by a HR interview. My HR interview was more of a stress test. Each interview is different. For example, the interviewers focussed more on talking to me than reading through my resume but this was not similar to other's interviews.

It was a really enjoyable experience overall. Although I didn’t get the position, the interview itself was great, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the role, the team, and the company.
