Microsoft

1:1 round, asked about: a. Any projects where you have hard deadlines. b. What do you want to work on: compilers, OS, or applications. c. Then he passed me a paper and told me to code the solution for a question in any language of my choice.

It was an on-campus process. The first round was a pen-and-paper round. We were given three questions and had to write working code for them on paper. The shortlisted candidates from this round then went on to give one-on-one interviews.

I was contacted by a recruiter from my college and then had an onsite interview in the Seattle area. They paid for my car, hotel, and other expenses. I completed five rounds of interviews, each consisting mostly of technical questions.
