I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
First round interview - had a call with a university recruiter about 30-40 minutes. Most questions were behavioral apart from one 'technical' that was fairly easy .
Interview was over skype and we spoke in English and I am mentioning that because I am not coming from a country with English as a main language.
