I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Montreal, QC) in Oct 2014
Interview
On-campus first round interview after a career fair & info session. The interview was approximately 30 minutes, with a developer working in Canada. He also asked me about my experiences working in group projects in the past, and the classes I was taking. There was plenty of time for me to ask questions about the kind of work he does; he had also done the internship program. There were 2 other interviewers that day and my coding question was by far the easiest.

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.
