I handed my resume to an on-campus recruiter. A few days later, I received an email asking me to sign up for an interview slot on campus.

I had an interview a few weeks later with a Product Manager from the Mountain View campus. She recommended me for a Software Development Engineer internship. About two weeks after that interview, I was notified that I would be flown to Redmond for final rounds.

They changed the location to Mountain View, California a few weeks later. I flew over, stayed for two nights, and on the second day, I had my interview. There were four rounds, based in C++ (my most familiar language was Java).

The last round was with a high-up manager who discussed Microsoft's goals and future direction. I heard less than 24 hours after my last interview, via email, that I got a position as a summer intern.

The whole process took approximately two months due to my busy finals period and trying to schedule a time to fly over to California.

The questions were based on bit manipulation and more low-level computation/theory, which I was not expecting. I had studied more for data structures, recursion, and OOP questions.
