I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sept 2017
Interview
I was interviewed twice: once on my school campus and once at the Microsoft Redmond campus. Everyone was overall super nice. The school interview was not very stressful. The one at the campus, well they paid for everything and were super nice overall. I had 4 interviews back to back. They were pretty nervewracking but everyone was super nice overall.
