I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Good experience overall. Did not do very well in the third interview that I had on that day. Had a little miscommunication with the interviewer. The question was not hard, shuffle linked list, delete duplicate word in a string, use three type of data structure to do delete and reverse a given string. Overall, it is a positive experience.
