I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2014
Interview
The interview process consisted of two parts. The first was a very technical interview at the school you would attend. They ask you a problem or two and see how to you work to solve it. If they like the way you think, you go to the second interview based in Washington. This interview is more behavioral so they can see where you would fit best in the company

The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.
