I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2009
Interview
Submitted resume through company info session, run by several non-HR and non-technical people. Received a 1:1 interview shortly thereafter,which consisted of several questions about myself, as well as a code writing exercise. The code writing exercise was fairly simplistic, a single question about transforming a roman number in a string into an integer. After I had solved the problem, I had a discussion with the interviewer for 30 minutes discussing the point that I had missed about twos-complement representation of signed integers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Transform a Roman Number stored as an integer into a string representation. Use any language. Provided methods for converting any single digit into it's respective character.
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.

Interview
It was a level II and it was a great chat with the interviewer. More questions about my past experience, how I handled new features, change of requirements and my thoughts about AI replacing or writing code.
