Interview
The interview process for Microsoft was pretty standard. I got in through the college career fair, so they had one technical interview in person at the college campus and then 4 rounds of technical interviews at Redmond. The provided with really good accommodation for the onsite interviews and also provided with a discount voucher for the Microsoft Store.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
The recruiter sent me an invitation for an on-campus technical interview. I was asked to schedule the onsite the next day. I asked for three weeks to prepare. The onsite process is pretty standard as many other companies. I had four interviews all of them with senior developers/managers in the respective teams. I was asked questions related to DP and Backtracking. CTCI along with decent practice from Leetcode is enough to crack the interview. We need to be careful testing the code we write.

Interview
On campus interview. The interviewer asked some basic list reversal questions, didn't even look up at the board for my answers. Spent the whole interview checking email. Felt like he thought he had better things to do.
