I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sep 2017
Interview
I did an on-campus interview at my university. The interviewer didn't ask about resume and went straight to coding. I messed up and forgot how to do the problem and the interviewer basically told me its fine and that they also screwed up their first interview too.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Had a phone call for 30 minutes in March. Largely behavioral, but I was asked brain teasers at the end.
I was flown out in September to interview in Redmond. The experience was amazing, they really treated you well by paying for all necessary expenses and any sightseeing. On the day of the interview, I got to meet the other candidates in the morning and got lunch. Then we had 4 back to back rounds. These interviews were focused largely on Algorithms and thought process. I was asked 1 recursion/DP question, 1 graph question, 1 System Design, 2 Brain teasers, and 2 basic Data Structures questions overall. The interviewers did a good job at keeping you calm and focused during the interviews. It was a great experience overall!
