Process
I had an interview with Microsoft when they visited my university campus. The interview was 30 minutes long; half of the time was spent discussing my experience and projects listed on my resume. The other half involved a simple coding question from the "Cracking the Coding Interview" book. The interviewer was very helpful and nice.
