Interviewed Nov 2008 in Redmond, WA (took 2 weeks)
The hiring process consisted of an initial phone screen. There never really was any technical phone interview. I believe that at this level, the companies mainly want to gague if the individual is interested in the job or not.
The on-site interview was also quite interesting. Quite a few very senior people in the organization interviewed me and the questions were not the typical run of the mill questions. Instead the questions pertained to the problems that the interviewers were working on at that point in time. At the very end of the day, i got a chance to meet the VP and spend an hour with him. This was very encouraging.

Interviewed Oct 2008 (took 2 days)
For the SDIT role, they focus on how you think and the basic fundamentals of Data Structures: linked list, search, graphs, tree.. etc, and some behavior questions. I have a couple of interviews at the Redmond campus, and at the end of the day, I felt I've been brain picked for a whole week. Normally, the on site interview will be conducted by at least three person, and at least two of the three will give technical interview where the other person will give behavior questions. Some of the questions are not difficult, but it's hard when you have to write a program in the white board and within certain time limit. Good luck!

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Redmond, WA (took 2+ weeks)
Very straightforward, but that was only my experience as a mid-career new hire.
As I understand from others, the interview process can be very tricky.
The best way to get a position here is to start as a paid intern and spend a summer working on real projects.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
This was the first interviewing process, it consisted of a classic "tell me why you are interested in position", she told me that I was not prepared enough for program manager but was wishfull to test my technical skills by solving a simple programming problem, i was successful at them; then she tested my testing skills and she said that I was proficient at that; i will go to another interview on late october. She recommended a couple of books and practices to be well prepared.
As i understand they are wishful to have you in their team, but they are strict as most of my partners didn't do well on this interview.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Redmond, WA (took a day)
Phone interview was a lady in Office group. She sounded uninterested. Some resume questions. That didn't go so well, but (after a long time)I got invited to onsite anyways. Questions include reversing string, atoi, etc. I was very impressed with the free sodas. Had lunch interview, then met big boss in the end. Overall a great learning experience!

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
Application process consisted of applying online via the recent graduate page, and then receiving an email from the recruiter mentioning they were interested in doing a phone interview.
Phone interview was short (20 minutes) and consisted of two HR / non-technical questions and one simple coding question.

Reason for Declining
Received a very generous offer from another company so chose not to continue the interview process.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 3 months)
First round was on campus. Dealt with why I wanted to work at Microsoft. Was too much focussed on technical aspects. Was expected.
Second round, after 2 months I get to know that there are few vacancies and whether I want 2 continue the interview process. I said yes and I was flown to Seattle for whole day interview. Interviewed with about 6-8 people, 2 teams whole day from 9am to 4 pm. If you make it through 2 rounds then only you get third round.
Within 2 days I was told that I am selected.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
The interview process was ok with the Sr Manager of Digital Marketing himself calling to set up the interview. The interview lasted for an hour, was more of a pressure interview where they would ask a series of questions with an aim to gauge how much a candidate can take. I did pass the test, but finally didnt get the offer as they didnt want Masters candidate for the position..Wish they had decided before the process

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 3 days)
I was interviewed for an overseas based team in their Redmond campus. I met with the hiring manager when he was visiting Redmond and after an hour long discussion he decided that I should have a full-loop.
Since the team was not based in Redmond, my interviews were through video conferences. First 4 interviews were scheduled over two days - two video conference and two with sister team managers in Redmond. It went well and I was given 5th round on a weekend evening. After that round, I was told that I would have another round with their Group Product Manager. It went well.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
This was a one on one interview as a result of a posting at my top 20 business school (MBA). They asked me to choose a Microsoft product that was marketed very well. I chose the XBOX, and gave a brief explanation and said that i am not a user of it, but they still continued of that produt for the rest of the interview. I thought that the interviewer was dis-interested in the entire interview and had a chip on his shoulder th whole time. Glad I didn't get the offer
