Process

After a first-round interview at my university, I was flown out to Redmond for an on-campus interview. The on-campus interview consisted of four or five hour-long technical interviews. Generally, one question was asked per interview. None of the questions were unreasonably difficult; however, I did not easily reach the right answer on two of them.
