I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2019
Interview
Submitted my resume and received a half technical/half behavioral phone interview. Got notified that I had made it to final round which consisted of two technical 45 minute interviews in Redmond. Flying out to Seattle was amazing; Microsoft covers all expenses to fly candidates out there including hotel and stipends for food, and after the interviews I got to explore Seattle with some of the other interviewees which was great.
