On sight, in a group with four back to back to back to back interviews. Interviews were one-on-one with engineers on a white board, with short breaks in between.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
They asked me general questions about my resume. One question they asked me was what was an improvement I would make to an existing piece of technology. They then proceeded to guide me through a technical question. When I missed some parts of the question the interviewer was helpful and give me small hints. I ended up solving the problem.

Question 1
They had me do a technical question which involved programming the logic that moved the hands of a clock based off the hours, mins, seconds.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Caïro, ) in Jun 2017
Interview
The process was divided into three phases. The first was a online assessment test that tested my knowledge of the company and basic questions of my field. Second phase was a video interview where I would answer questions and respond in a 30 second recorded video. It mainly asked questions regarding my behavior and personality in certain situations and how I would act accordingly. Last and final phase was a face-to-face interview with 3 employees, 2 of which are in my field and one HR employee. They asked mainly about my past experiences and technical abilities that would show whether I was a suitable fit to undergo the internship or not.
