I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2019
Interview
Microsoft was very friendly. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn to schedule an on campus interview at my college. That interview was not too bad. Was asked a question on how to manipulate a matrix. 4 hours after my interview they sent me instructions on how to schedule my next one in Seattle. At Seattle they were very friendly again. They are trying a new interview process where they only do 2 interviews compared to the 4 they were used to. Both interviews were 45 minutes long with 30 of those minutes being a technical question and the rest is you asking questions.
