I applied through college or university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in May 2020
Interview
The interview process was way too large. I was interviewed remotely by Microsoft on March 2020 at the first stage, second stage on May and they answered me at late June.
Regarding the interviewers, they were all friendly and kind, and took the time to explain me some examples on the coding interview before I started going through the problem.
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.
