Interviewed May 2009 in Cambridge, MA (took a day)
The first part of the interview process was a phone interview - mainly general questions about what interested me about programming why I wanted to work for Microsoft Startup Labs. Then was the technical interview with one of the engineers there. He asked me some verbal questions like "Is JavaScript object-oriented" then asked me to write some code on a white board - reverse a linked list, do some tree traversals, and something else. All pretty standard I guess.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Redmond, WA (took 3 weeks)
There was an on-campus interview that lasted about 30 minutes. Mostly behavioral questions. The second interview was a full day. The day started out with a presentation followed by 4 1 hour interviews that ranged from entirely behavioral to entirely technical. After our interviews they took us to lunch, gave our group a mini tour, and sent us on our way.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
Microsoft seems to have shifted from the brainteaser type interviews. Questions were generally geared to seeing how you would use common sense to figure out work problems. Interviewer was very pleasant and seemed extremely knowledgeable about his field. Conversation flowed smoothly with questions concerning how I would approach testing of software.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Redmond, WA (took a day)
Submitted resume through company info session, run by several non-HR and non-technical people. Received a 1:1 interview shortly thereafter,which consisted of several questions about myself, as well as a code writing exercise. The code writing exercise was fairly simplistic, a single question about transforming a roman number in a string into an integer. After I had solved the problem, I had a discussion with the interviewer for 30 minutes discussing the point that I had missed about twos-complement representation of signed integers.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Redmond, WA (took 4 months)
Resume being selected for the interview is the harder part in my opinion.
Interviews are not so hard compared to Other equally popular companies.
Most of the questions would be past interview questions found on internet.
Even if you know answer right away , trying to deduce the procedure infront of the interviewer would be helpful in gaining a good impression.
Roughly about 1 in 5 are selected from interviews.
So if 20 guys are interviewed on your day. you would need to be atleast 4th best.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 1 week)
The interview consisted of two interviews. There was one with a product manager. The question centralized around designing a product. The product that I had to design was a phone for a mother. She had specific requirements wish she fleshed out as you asked more questions about the market/segment.
The other part of the interview was with the HR, which were basic questions around Why you want to work here? What are you passionate about...etc.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Seattle, WA (took 4+ weeks)
Began with an on campus interview with an alum. Typical MBA level interview for a marketing position, and included a short case. Was invited to Redmond for second rounds where I interviewed with a total of 6 people in one day--all back to back. If the first few people like you, they will keep adding interviews with more senior folks. Really was not too demanding of an interview.
My advice would be to know marketing basics and be quick on your feet with cases and critical thinking, but the level of inquiry is not as demanding as consulting case interviews.

Not a lot of movement on salary or stock, but was able to drive signing bonus up about 30% (which probably means I could have gotten more).

University recruitment. Microsoft came and gave an information session and also came to our career fair at UCSB. They took resumes and then emailed invitations to be interviewed on campus.
