I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Position: university grad full time.
Process: referral -> onsite (4 interviews) -> offer.
If you make it to the onsite round you get a sweatshirt! Every interview started with a conversation and behavioral questions, followed by a coding problem. If you practice ~150 leetcode, you will pass them all easily.
Expect a lengthy hiring process that can take at least two months from start to finish. In my experience, there was approximately one month of interviews followed by another month waiting for the final decision. Be prepared for a slow timeline, especially after completing all interview stages.
