Microsoft came to my university to advertise job positions. I applied at their website and had a phone interview scheduled within a couple of days. These are the questions I can remember: - What 3 qualities would you like an assistant to have? Do you have those qualities? - (Behavioral question) Think back about a time when you had a difficulty problem at work and how you solved it. - Why do you want to work at MS? - What level of the computing stack do you want to work at? (User Interface, Application level or Driver-level) - How would you test a keyboard? - How do you go about learning a new programming language?

The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
