I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Hiring through career fair at top-tier school. Skype interview first and then on-site at Redmond. Skype interview was for PM position and was pretty straight forward.
2 weeks later got contacted for final round. A couple of days later my application was changed from PM to SDET. Even though I didn't want that position, I decided to go and find out more about Microsoft.
Final rounds was 3 interviews (1 SDE, 1 SDET, 1 PM) and lunch. A fair amount of coding and a full behavioral with the PM.
