I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied through a career event in our university. A week after got an email for on-campus interview. Interviewer seem to be not happy to being there. There was an easy linked list question which I solved and a few straightforward behavioral questions. No resume related talk. Interview wasn't selective at all. I'm not sure how they filter down depending on these questions. I would expect more sensible and challenging interview from Microsoft. After 4-5 days from the interview, they emailed generic rejection.
The hiring process consists of a HackerRank home exam, followed by three technical interviews covering LeetCode-style problems and system architecture. Once this is done, you will have a final HR interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had a technical interview where I was asked to solve the classic 'Climbing Stairs' problem (LeetCode #70), which is a dynamic programming question based on the Fibonacci sequence.
One HR interview, then two problem-solving interviews (beginer level) on HackerRank. You can choose the best programming language for you to use in solving problems. You should think out loud to enable your interviewer to understand how you would think to solve the problem.
