I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (London, England) in Jul 2020
Interview
Multiple phases, all virtual, really good and really require you to do your research! Had a briefing before the interview where I was given the names of this who would be interviewing me so I could research them on LinkedIn etc
The onsite interview went really well overall. It consisted of four back-to-back 30-minute sessions, each with a different interviewer, which kept the energy moving at a good pace. The format was standard behavioral questions — think "tell me about a time when..." style prompts — so it was a comfortable structure to work through. Everyone I spoke with was genuinely warm and welcoming, which made the experience feel much less stressful than a typical interview loop. For an intern role, the process felt thorough but fair, and left me feeling positive about the team culture.
