I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Started with phone screen which was quite easy. Then after two months invited for onsite it Redmond WA. I was more interested for SDE position but they invited me for SDET. Went through 4 interview loops.
I Applied through a representative in my school who had the contact information of the recruiter. I was then offered a phone interview, which I accepted. During the interview, I was asked one technical question, on operating systems. The difference between a process and a thread. Was asked to design a keyboard and was also asked to Figure out the temperature outside the room from the inside without using any technology.
