Interviewed Aug 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took 4+ weeks)
The interview was for the position of a research analyst (5 years exp). Overall there were about 6 rounds.
First round - over the phone with a senior analyst. They interviewer would mention a scenario and then probe the candidate's problem solving skills. He would then introduce a new concept and check to what extent the candidate understands it and is able to apply it to a real life scenario. It lasted for about an hour.
2nd round - Face to face with a senior analyst. Similar to the first round - scenario based questioning. Checks understanding of business stakeholders and alignment of research to their needs. For e.g. if the COO is the stakeholder - he would be looking at things from an Ops perspective, hence the research should be done keeping this in mind, etc
3rd round - Case study/ presentation with a senior analyst. Not much of analysis. Focus on secondary research skills and storyboard of the presentation. Questions at the end of assignment
4th round - HR round with a hiring manager. Questions on current work structure, KRA's, etc. Checks knowledge of performance management (for lead positions)
5th round - With the business unit director. Summary of the earlier rounds - scenario based and detailed knowledge of existing work profile.
I didn't make it past this round... :(

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2 months)
The first round was an written test. It consisted of 15 objective questions followed by 5 subjective questions.
The objective questions were based on the knowledge of C and Data Structures. The subjective questions consisted of a program, output determination, error finding and two questions related to Software Engineering.
After that the interview rounds were easy . there were two rounds and in both rounds they asked about data structures and algorithms. the last telephonic interview round was also quite easy about desining an algorithm for tic tac toe game. But , finally i didnt get the offer.

Once the written tests were over they took about 20 days to declare results. That was very annoying. But on contrary to this , they declared results on the same day of interview which was quite overwhelming.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took 3 days)
The company's interview procedure and schedule are very good. Make sure that you are able to write proper algorithms (bug free) and it covers all the scenarios and negative conditions. That adds more positive points on the candidate's side

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)
Recently there was an opening with MS-Hyd for Senior Software Operations, It’s dream come true for any IT professional to join MS (even getting shortlisted for interview is an achievement). I was approached by 2 top staffing agencies in India for this position and none of them able to get my profile shortlisted. (95% of the staffing agencies can’t be trusted). I saw the same opening on naukri which I applied but there was no response so I thought it might have got rejected again ? but to my surprise I got a call from MS-HR on a Saturday noon to appear for F2F interview, I was given the slot for next day (hardly a day to get my self prepared for MS) as they were visiting Pune for recruitment. I tried to get more information about the interview process and details and clarification from the HR but they didn’t took much interest in telling me the details, so based on the requirements mentioned in the JD I prepared myself and reached venue on time on Sunday. Finally panel arrived and after waiting for 30 min’s I was being escorted by HR to the interviewer cabin. (except his name I still don’t know his designation). He briefed me about the profile and started his technical round, to my surprise that guy was more interested in those areas where he had expertise without looking at what exp. and expertise I have. I was being grilled badly by him because the technical round was out of my expectation and my expertise area. So this way I lost an opportunity to be part of MS just because of ignorance of the HR panel for not providing me correct information and insufficient time to appear for the interview (considering it’s MS and not any tom,dick and harry company). I was really frustrated and annoyed the way this ended. My suggestion to everyone being called for interview is to get as much details from HR before appearing for interview (F2F, Telephonic or Written) otherwise you will be also ending up in same fashion. As per me I would rate my interview process “Very Tough” just because of incomplete information provided to me. Good luck to everyone!!
