Process
A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. After applying, I was invited to an on-campus interview.
The interview was only 30 minutes long. My interviewer spent about 5 minutes on my resume and then moved on to a coding question, which took the rest of the time because I blanked.
He wasn't able to answer my question about some of Microsoft's volunteering efforts, but that's understandable.
