Interviewed Nov 2010 in Redmond, WA (took 4 weeks)
Went through 3 phone screens (1 by the hiring manager/director of the group), 2 by recruiters/HR people.
Then went in for in-person interviews that were split across different days because of interviewer availability.
Standard behavioral questions (tell me a time when..., etc.), nothing too heavy.
They ended up going with an internal candidate.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process at Microsoft is reasonably long with up to 6 interviewers on the loop. Interviews are fairly tough and focus on competencies and open ended questions. At times feedback can be fairly limited and the time between interviews can leave you feeling a little in the dark and frustrated. Overall, the process is fine.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Redmond, WA (took 2 days)
Great experience overall. Recruiter was extremely professional and on top of the details. Interview consisted of 7 different interviewers - maybe too many? - but don't know enough about group dynamics to know for sure. Be prepared, anticipate the tough questions, and know it's a long interview day. Smart people who want to figure out if you fit the culture.

Microsoft interviews are strongly socialized - the process and (type of) questions are surprisingly uniform. Typically, there are 4-5 interviewers, plus the hiring manager, if you're considered a strong candidate. These group opinions are very powerful in the hiring process - it's extremely rare that a manager overrules the panel, even when privately, the manager may indicate that he or she would have hired the candidate based on their own read. (Bad hires eventually count against all the interviewers...)
