I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Feb 2018
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter asking for my resume. About three weeks later the same recruiter called a did a phone screen which lasted about 15 minutes. Another few days went by before another recruiter called and scheduled a skype interview. The Skype interview lasted about 1 hour. Did coding on a shared screen. At the time, my internet connection was flaky and I had to refresh the screen several times before I could see what the interviewer typed. The interviewer was friendly and helpful.
