Interview
I got a phone interview by talking to a recruiter at my schools career fair. It was 30 minutes long, but it somehow felt shorter (and a tad impersonal, though the lady was outwardly friendly). If you've never interviewed before (like me) practice giving fast and concise answers so you're not thrown off. The focus was on behavioral questions, and I was talking to someone who specializes in recruiting. Just keep your audience in mind when answering and try to make your answers show why you stand out.

Interview
Applied by our school internship system. Got a phone interview and went to Microsoft campus for an on site interview. The overall process was pleasant and I enjoyed it. Did not get an offer because I screwed up a programming question.

Interview
The interview was not too bad. There is a little bit of soft skills interviewing, but a majority is technical questions. Leetcode and doing your research online is great preparation techniques for this interview. Make sure to know your leadership and problem solving skills and experiences and know your resume inside out.
