I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I met an campus rep, turned in my resume and had an on campus interview. The on campus interviewer was beyond nice and helpful! I then went to the on-site interview in Seattle. The on-site consisted of four interviews each with 10-5 minutes in between each other (this ran from about 8:30am - 12:30pm)

Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
