I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Had a phone call for 30 minutes in March. Largely behavioral, but I was asked brain teasers at the end.
I was flown out in September to interview in Redmond. The experience was amazing, they really treated you well by paying for all necessary expenses and any sightseeing. On the day of the interview, I got to meet the other candidates in the morning and got lunch. Then we had 4 back to back rounds. These interviews were focused largely on Algorithms and thought process. I was asked 1 recursion/DP question, 1 graph question, 1 System Design, 2 Brain teasers, and 2 basic Data Structures questions overall. The interviewers did a good job at keeping you calm and focused during the interviews. It was a great experience overall!

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Fairly simple tree question, but the interviewer started 5 minutes late and ended 5 minutes early, making my interview only 20 minutes instead of 30 as it should have been. I think he read the time incorrectly, as I had not finished the problem. Unfortunately I did not notice the early finish time until after leaving the interview room. Overall I am very disappointed as I think with the extra 10 minutes I would have been able to solve the problem more fully.
