I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jan 2017
Interview
pretty easy, got around through networking but you must be able to express yourself and be honest with your skill set.
Be sure to remember how to get it right in an interview.
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Guwahati) in Sept 2018
Interview
The first part was a shortlist based on the UX task (which was hectic and challenging and was supposed to be done in 4 days ) and portfolio. The shortlisted candidates had to appear for a skype based intern which consisted of three rounds. The first round was the questioning and analysis of the UX Task. The second round was questioning on the UX Portfolio and Skill set followed by an HR Round

I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft in Feb 2018
Interview
I applied in February, 2018. I sent my resume directly to the campus recruiter and got an interview invitation in 3 days.
Though I choose "UX Research" as my preference, a designer interviewed my and the first question is "what makes you a designer." The interview is quite standard and the interviewer didn't give any hint of whether you perform well. I was told that result would be available in 3 weeks, but it was after a month that I got the rejection letter.
