I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Boston, MA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I gave my resume to a recruiter at a campus career fair. Then I got an email back from them I believe a week or two later saying I would be perfect for the Boston garage intership. Then had a 30-minute phone interview with a lady one behavioral question and one problem-solving question that was a probability. Then I got an email back the next day saying that I got invited for an in-person interview which was the following week. During the final stage, you have three interviews. One is behavioral, and the two are technical all 45mins. The questions did vary with people, but they are a simple problem-solving question that involved data structures.
Had a coding round which was Leetcode based questions and many people failed in the first round. It was on-campus drive and only one person made to final round. He went through technical interview, HR interview and landed the job.
