I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
It was a quick 30 minute initial screen, so time was limited. But the interviewer did the best they could to assess my skills. I found the experience insightful and feel confident in moving on to the next round next time I apply.
