I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Boston, MA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Applied through a job fair and got an email from Microsoft the next week. Had my first interview through the phone and was asked all design related questions: test a pen, design an alarm clock for a visually-impaired person, etc. Received an email the next day informing me that I had made it to the next round.
Interviewed at Microsoft's Boston location. One of the interviewers was indisposed, so we only had three interviews instead of the intended four. They asked one technical question per round which didn't take up all the time, and we also discussed my resume and previous experience.
The process took the entire morning, after which they fed us lunch and told us the results. This gave us the entire afternoon to explore the city.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you have two circles on a Cartesian plane and are given only their radii and the location of their center points on the plane, how can you tell if they overlap?
Write a program the determines if a word is a palindrome or not. Then test it.
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.
