I'm a final year university student and I submitted my resume for Software Engineer I. I had an an on-campus interview in October 2018, followed by on-site interview in January 2018 at Redmond.
I interviewed with 4 people for 45 minutes each and the first three interviews were technical and behavioral questions. The last one was an as necessary interview where the manager tried to convince me to join Microsoft.
Interview questions were average difficulty for 4th year computing science major, but it's important to think through them and ask questions before writing the code. Behavioral questions were standard such as describing strengths and weaknesses, conflict with colleague, etc.
They put me in a nice hotel with a good rental car. Flight, meals, and parking was all paid for or reimbursed.

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.

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.
