Process
University recruiting.
I was contacted by a recruiter via email.
The first round interview was conducted at my university.
The first question was a standard "tell me about yourself."
Afterwards, I was expecting more technical questions. Instead, the interviewer asked me what Microsoft products I liked and hated, and to explain why.
The last question was a basic brain teaser that wasn't too bad.
I would recommend that for the first round interview, expect more behavioral than technical questions.
