Initial on campus screening. I was given a coding question to solve in a language of my choice (something like break a string into an array of its letters as characters. then I was asked the following question: "if you had to design a tv remote control with only 2 buttons, what would the buttons do?" We spoke about that for 10 minutes or so and then answered my questions about the company and internship program.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Boston, MA) in Nov 2013
Interview
A recruiter contacted me through linkedin and asked me if I am interested in applying for Microsoft intern. I submitted the required application materials and they scheduled me for a one-hour interview. During the interview, the interviewer asked me some behavioral questions and talked about some projects I have done. Then we moved on to technical problem solving, which is pretty standard.

2. Given nine items and one of them is heavier than the others, how do you find the heavier one using a scale twice?
Applied at my university, got called back for an interview. The interview questions was easy - Shuffling a deck of cards, but I got way too nervous for no reason and didn't do well.
