Applied through university. Had a talk with Microsoft people at a career fair. Got a 30-minute campus interview in two weeks. Had a question on how to flip a specific bit in a 2D bitmap. Got an invitation to Redmond, WA. Had four interviews: two design questions and two programming questions. Was asked about myself and my resume. Also was given several scenarios regarding teamwork, version control, and dealing with issues.
