I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (College Station, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
Interviewer was over 20 minutes late to interview and seemed to be pushing me to finish the interview quickly. I assume this was because he didn't want to delay his lunch or had already filled his internship slots. In general interviewer was not attentive and gave me a bad taste in my mouth for Microsoft's work environment. Question was easy but I fumbled it.

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
