I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Contacted by recruiter after resume drop at an info session. Had an on campus interview. The question was to find the biggest number in a binary search tree that is less than a given number. I wasn't able to solve the problem on my own but the interviewer walked through the solution with me and I was able to write it down in code after. He also asked some basic behavioral questions.

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.
