I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Very competitive with lots of very talented candidates. Interview that starts with a recruiter that determines your qualifications and then 3 subsequent interviews with different team members / hiring manager(s). Each one had very different questions that were a mix of technical, situational, and critical thinking. Be honest, know your stuff, be yourself, and be prepared. The process is very long but be patient. It's worth it.

Question 1
Mix of technical, behavioral, critical thinking and situational questions.
The onsite interview went really well overall. It consisted of four back-to-back 30-minute sessions, each with a different interviewer, which kept the energy moving at a good pace. The format was standard behavioral questions — think "tell me about a time when..." style prompts — so it was a comfortable structure to work through. Everyone I spoke with was genuinely warm and welcoming, which made the experience feel much less stressful than a typical interview loop. For an intern role, the process felt thorough but fair, and left me feeling positive about the team culture.
