I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2018
Interview
College hire - there were 2 interviews on campus, then was flown out to Seattle for a final round of 5 interviews. Was asked general questions about favorite products, how to improve app XYZ, and estimation questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favorite app? - why? -how would you improve it? How much money do Americans spend on cat food every year? How do I manage multiple stakeholders? How do I manage conflict on the team?
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.

It was a level II and it was a great chat with the interviewer. More questions about my past experience, how I handled new features, change of requirements and my thoughts about AI replacing or writing code.
