I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sept 2019
Interview
One round of university interview with an engineer. Got an unseen coding problem but I think it's LC easy or intermediate level.
Then one round of on-site, with one manager and one engineer. Both had a technical question at LC intermediate level, but the manager also spent half of the time with behavioral questions. Had some time to chat about industry life and technologies in the end.
Each round is about 50 minutes.
