The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2009
Interview
Very casual. There were no "pre-determined" interview questions. I don't believe anyone I met with had an agenda and depending on the individual, we spoke like a) friends b) co-workers or c) business partners. I communicated with the recruiter, then had phone interviews with a couple folks on the team, went into the office to meet about 5 individuals and was presented the offer the same day I went in. All together, about a one week process.

Very competitive series of meetings with various stakeholders. The team covered many perspectives and there was ample room for prospect questions. There was the obvious focus on experience and technical skills. However, there was a large push to review cultural fit.
