The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Santa Clara, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone interview with TalentPlus who was Microsoft's third party recruiter. Then I was invited to a open house interview that consisted of an introduction, a video, role playing, small group session and Q&A. I was then emailed for a 1:1 interview the next day.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Miami, FL) in Dec 2019
Interview

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Jacksonville, FL)
Interview
Thorough. A 2 part interview. They were having a hiring fare, so the first interview lasted less than 15 minutes which was a lot of pressure to market yourself as quick as possible. I lucked out and had mine towards the end of the day so I assume I was fresh on their minds. I was one of two selected to go to the second interview which lasted an hour.

Question 1
Typical interview questions. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" "What can you bring to us that we don't already have?"
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
The first interview almost didn't feel like one. It's was open house kind of set up but they made the environment extremely relaxed and fun. The second interview was a bit more intimate, I met with 2 different managers and they really just wanted an idea of who you are, and how your previous work experience would contribute to the company and the position you are interviewing for.
