I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2013
Interview
I was reached out to by a member of the college recruiting team at Microsoft and had a phone interview scheduled. I was not expecting a walk in the park interview, especially from a company like Microsoft, but the degree of difficulty definitely caught me off guard. From the forefront they wanted to gauge how innovative and committed to improvement their employee was.
