I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) in Oct 2017
Interview
One on campus interview, and then flew out to their main office for an on-site interview. I spoke to 4 different interviewers, each for an hour long. All of the interviews were a mix of white board coding problems and behavioral questions. The coding problems were usually fairly short.

One HR interview, then two problem-solving interviews (beginer level) on HackerRank. You can choose the best programming language for you to use in solving problems. You should think out loud to enable your interviewer to understand how you would think to solve the problem.
