Microsoft does a great job of making the internship experience memorable. My mentor was incredibly smart, approachable, and supportive.
The HQ is in suburban Seattle, and there is not much in the way of non-Microsoft activities in the immediate area. Seattle is an easy commute, so this is not that big of a deal!
They were all super nice and mostly talked. We were supposed to code for longer, but we spent so much time talking that we didn't. There were also many events and meetings.
The interview process consisted of two back-to-back interviews, each 45 minutes long. These interviews included both LeetCode-style and behavioral questions. First, you'll answer LeetCode questions, followed by a couple of behavioral questions.
Applied online, heard back one month afterwards. Had two back-to-back technical interviews. My first interview was a LeetCode medium, while my second interview was a system design question.
