*I interviewed for the garage program* - completed phone screen (around 45 mins) where they asked about my interest in microsoft, some design questions and how to explain the cloud to a grandmother - they flew me to do onsites a month later where we had to do a 10 minute presentation to a panel of interviewers followed by 4 back to back technicals/behaviorals (20 minutes for behaviorals & 25 minutes for technicals) - Overall a fun interview process. Interviewers were very friendly, didn't really feel like an interview as much as a nice conversation. Left the interviews with a very good impression of Microsoft - I didn't do so well on 2/4 technicals but I think I left a good enough impression on the interviewers that they decided to take me on

I applied through their website with a referral, after a month or so they sent me a home exam, I think about a month after that i had 3 interviews in the same day, each one around 1:15 hours.
