Microsoft recruits at my college. I applied by talking to the recruiters at the career fairs.

The first round of interviews was on campus. It was a standard 45-minute interview.

The first half of the interview was behavioral, where we chatted about my resume, experience, and what I like to work on. The second half was technical, and the question was not difficult at all.

I heard back two weeks later and scheduled my on-site interview at Redmond, WA. I had four back-to-back interviews.

The interviews were mostly technical, focusing on standard algorithms and data structures, but they weren't hard either.

Final thoughts: Compared to Google and Facebook, Microsoft's interviews were much easier. They really want to see how you think, rather than grilling you with DP questions.

You were part of the Microsoft Azure team. We received a call at 2 AM from a customer stating that the service was down. What could possibly have happened?
