Interviewed Nov 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2 days)
A Certain number of students, selected from all-over the country were called to Microsoft IDC, Hyderabad campus. There was a written test consisting of 5 questions. Two of the Questions required us to create an algorithm and write solid code, while the rest were open ended questions on design patterns and testing. After the written round, out of 300 candidates 16 were selected for the interviews. There were 4 interviews - all technical in nature. Each interview lasted for around an hour. The Questions were highly thought-provoking and we were asked to write solid-code for all of those. Questions ranged from questions as simple as writing code to implement an algo with restrained complexity to designing a revolutionizing system for handling complex real-world issues. The Interviews were none less that awesome!

The Interviewers at Microsoft play the A Game! They can see right though you and so it is best if one behaves naturally. Even if you are not able to solve a problem in the first few minutes, it is advisable to verbalize what you are thinking so that they can follow your thought process.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Delhi (India) (took 3 months)
I returned to India 2008 Nov after working in the US for 13 years and interviewed with MS Delhi Apr 2010.
I was told I am over qualified after 9 rounds of interview. I was surprised that the senior most manager at MS for the Sr. Engagement Manager role kept giving mixed feedback after every round and was found unable to make a decision. The interviewer talked to me like I made up the whole story about my background whereas the other interviewers spoke very highly of me. I felt the hiring manager felt a little insecure anyways regardless after 9 rounds of interview the company decided not to extend an offer. Disappointed that big giants like MS was not interested in my talent.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)
Microsoft IT, Hyderabad came on my college campus providing internship to selected students. A quick elimination in written test was followed by 4 rounds of interview ( 3 tech + 1 hr).
Interview for college students is not herculean hard. Stick to basics - data structures, OS, OOP, databases. Be sure that you know A-Z of everything you mentioned on your resume.
I did get selected as an intern for 8 weeks at MS IT, Hyd. The work culture is awesome, with all the perks you can wish for including pool tables, tt, free beverages and such. The people of team that I joined were supportive and the work cut out for me was definitive. So just worry on how to get there, and not on what will you do once you are there.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 4+ weeks)
It was a lengthy process (8 rounds) with no clarity of what the management was looking it. Inspite of repeatedly asking about the competency requirements, the recruiter was not open enough to share. May be she had no clue.
In my opinion, if I interview Bill Gates for so many rounds, I will find a reason to reject him as well. So I knew I am not a fit there even before they got back to me.
Quite a gaseous place
