Process
I gave my resume to a recruiter at Microsoft who visited our campus during the spring semester of the 2013-14 academic year.
I received an email from HR a month later requesting to schedule a telephonic interview within the next two weeks. I complied.
My interviewer was part of a CAD team (a rather small one, with only two or three members), and I was interviewed for a CAD summer internship.
Questions
I was asked questions regarding my projects.
I had a project on RISC processor design, implementation, and verification. He asked me questions regarding testing the modules of the design.
The interview lasted for 30 minutes.
I received a rejection email from HR after a week.
