I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Was contacted by the recruiter a day after submitting my application online. The first round was a 30 min on-campus interview. Mostly behavioral questions and one technical question which was something along the lines of reversing every word in a string. The interviewer was friendly. Got selected for the second round of interview at Redmond. There were 4 back to back interviews. The first was an easy programming question about vectors/arrays. But it had a lot of edge cases to cover and the interviewer expected me to ask a lot of questions. The second interview involved thinking about how the touchButton function works internally in iOS app dev and reading some C# code (you were allowed to ask him questions on the syntax). The third round had a design question. The first three rounds were not that hard. The fourth interview was completely random though. It involved OS and ML concepts - classes that I have not taken yet (The interviewer had any idea about my skills and resume).

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.

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.
