Once you get in contact with a Microsoft recruiter they make sure to response fast and make sure the hiring process is very clear. I knew what to expect and the recruiters are quick to respond to questions. The first round of interviews was very basic. They then offer to fly you out and pay for everything. The interview day was pretty long but exciting and high intensity. I actually enjoyed it very much though and got to meet plenty of other candidates. At the end of the day I met up with some people I met and we all went out to explore Seattle. We went to this amazing seafood restaurant which was delicious. Microsoft paid for everything, they really want you to have an amazing experience and sell the company to you. I was given an offer one or two hours after my last interview which was really surprising and exciting at the same time. The recruiters really jump on you quick and are urgent / excited to hear your response. I ended up accepting the offer the next day. In the end, it was a very pleasant and amazing experience and I'm looking very much forward to the summer!
