Process

I got an interview along with a bunch of my comp sci peers while Microsoft was at a university here in MD. The interviewer was very formal, but somewhat impersonal. I was asked two questions, one of which I could not answer. I knew the interview was a bust after that, so I asked him about R&D for fun.
