I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2013
Interview
During my last year at school, I contacted one of the recruiters on campus. She setup an interview on campus.
It was a 45 minute interview. There were questions regarding my classes; projects; interests; some high-level questions on operation systems, version control, and design; and a couple simple programming questions.
About six weeks later I went through the six hour interview process, where each 50 minute block was an interview with a current engineer. They asked the usual questions about data structures, algorithms, and testing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Suppose there's a rabbit on the edge of a stream. In the stream, at unit sized spaces, there are potentially rocks, i.e. for each space in the stream, there is either a rock there, or there isn't. The rabbit can hop onto a rock, but can't swim.
If the rabbit can initially jump one space, then for each subsequent jump, jump n + 1, n, or n - 1 spaces, where n is the number of spaces previously jumped, design an algorithm to determine if the rabbit can successfully cross an arbitrary stream.
Expect technical deep dives, coding challenges, and problem-solving scenarios. Questions will probe your knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design, assessing your ability to build robust systems. yes yus yes

Question 1
Situational questions like reasoning for the approach
Nice and smooth the interviewer were really very helpful and knowledgeable also they try to help while giving interview and also when I have the interview they acknowledged if I was saying right or wrong so overall nice experience
