I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2014
Interview
Meet with Microsoft at my University's career fair and gave them a copy of my resume. I also went to a few other events they held in the next few weeks. Eventually, they reached out to me to schedule a first round interview.
The interview was on campus at our career center and was bout 45 minutes in length. My interviewer asked behavioral questions for about 15 minutes and then it was 30 minutes of coding challenges.

Question 1

Interview
So far I have had 1 interview, still waiting on the outcome. If first interview goes well you go to the second round.
The interviewer was friendly and helped me in some places. A good tip is if they give you hints they probably want you to succeed. So don't let his/her helps go in vain.

Interview
I gave my resume to a college recruiter. A week later I was notified that I'd been chosen for the first screen interview on my school's campus. The interview ended up being very straightforward. Began and ended with small talk regarding myself, the interviewer and Microsoft in general. Was not asked any data structure/algorithm questions which was surprising to me. The only technical question asked was regarding string manipulation within a function.

Question 1
Create a function that accepts a C-style string (has a null terminating character) and a char n, and if the string contains n chars, remove the chars and handle the empty spaces after removal.
Example:
Input -- void removeChar(char[] glassdoor char c)
Output -- gladoor
