I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
I interviewed with Microsoft when I was in college. I went through 2 phone interviews after which they asked me to fly down to Redmond for more technical interviews. The phone interviews were a combination of both behavioral as well as technical questions. I felt the technical questions on the phone were a lot simpler than the ones on their campus. The level of difficulty for on-campus interviews varied a lot. My first interview (which was with a Test Manager) was the most difficult one while the other interviews (with Test Leads and SDET 2) seemed significantly easier.

Question 1
Given a matrix of n x n dimensions, write an algorithm such that each number (from 1 to n) appears only once in a column and a row. (Look up magic square for an example)
Expect technical deep dives, coding challenges, and problem-solving scenarios. Questions will probe your knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design, assessing your ability to build robust systems. yes yus yes
