I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tempe, AZ) in Jul 2011
Interview
Current employee submitted my resume. Had 1 hour phone "technical interview". Was then flown to Tempe, AZ for full day of interviews. Had four one hour interviews. Was told at end of day I would be receiving an offer.

Question 1
Please try to be as detailed as possible regarding the technical question, business case, etc.
2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable

Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.
