I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Irvine, CA)
Interview
Microsoft held a week long of events at my University and I was able to apply through there. I attended each event and spoke to different engineers, they were very friendly and I believe showing a genuine curiosity helped me attain an on campus interview. The interview was held at my schools career center and lasted 45 minutes, consisting of several behavioral questions and 1 design question. My interviewer was very friendly and I had a great experience overall.
