I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Was contacted on LinkedIn by a University Recruiter about an opportunity. Got offered a first round interview over Skype. Interview went well. Asked a variety of questions, generic interview questions and technical questions as well. Less than a week later was contacted about a final round interview out a town. Although, was asked to fly cross country in less than 2 days notice. After a couple of days the recruiter set me up with a different position located in America. The interview took place in Redmond, but because of the snow the interviews needed to be conducted virtually. I was interviewed four times, each interview lasting about an hour each, mainly asked technical questions. Coded a couple solutions.
I applied through their website with a referral, after a month or so they sent me a home exam, I think about a month after that i had 3 interviews in the same day, each one around 1:15 hours.

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.
