I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Interview consisted of a 30 minute phone screening with HR and then a video chat with a member of the team I would be working with. Questions were centered around behavioral and experience stuff... really all cookie-cutter questions that one should be prepared for ahead of time. The interviewer was very kind and nice, and interview was more of a conversation

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Had an on campus interview that lasted about 25 mins. Asked me about the different between BFS and DFS and also a creative question about HoloLens. I received an email 2 months later (ugh) that I would continue to the next round. I had a super day in Redmond which consisted of one technical interview (difficult but i managed), one interview where I described a project i had worked on, one design interview and lunch with that employee where he asked me some behavioral questions, then lastly a fit interview where i was allowed to ask some questions. I did a lot of preparation so I felt pretty confident about my performance, only thing was I fumbled on the technical coding question a bit.
