I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
1. First I received a phone screening. I do not recall the details but I remember it was a mix of behavioral and light technical questions.
2. I was invited for an on-site interview (when those were a thing) at their North Carolina office. All expenses were paid. On the day of the interview, it was I and a pool of candidates. I had 3 interviews back to back.
First interview: This was a mostly behavioral/conversational interview.
Second interview: A light technical interview. They asked me to demonstrate how a bubble sort algorithm works on the whiteboard but didn't require me to code. They just wanted to measure my technical knowledge. They then asked me questions regarding my past internship and personal projects.
Third Interview: This was a presentation. I had to give a 10-minute presentation on a topic of my choice. I gave my presentation followed by some questions the interviewer had about my presentation topic and then I mostly had a conversation with the interviewer about the role more in-depth.
Overall, the interview wasn't that bad.
