Process

I gave my resume to one of their recruiters during an info session. A few days later, I received an email for the first screening phone interview (about 30-45 minutes). It was an easy one, featuring behavioral questions, high-level technical questions, and background inquiries. The HR person was nice.

About a week after that, I received another email from my university recruiter about the second round phone interview (3 hours). This time, I spoke with three different people.

Most of the questions were technical, although each interviewer asked about my background and previous work. In this round, I had to write some code via an online service that Microsoft uses for phone interviews.

All of the interviewers were very polite and nice. At the end of each part, I was able to ask them what they liked and disliked about Microsoft, especially their jobs at Microsoft. We also talked a little about the culture at Microsoft.
