Interviewed Aug 2009 in Redmond, WA (took 3 weeks)
Interview processes at Microsoft can range from being long and intense to short and intense...
THey are a very wonderful company to work for and because of their proficient interview styles, they hire some of the very best talent in the world. They also weed out some of the talent with apptitude that doesn't fit their work style. Overall you can expect a couple of HR phone screens, meet i-person with hiring manager, then loop with 5-8 people within the group you are applying. Then HR will retake the reigns and follow up with offering you the job or declining you the opportunity.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Redmond, WA (took 2 days)
The Microsoft "loop" consists of an initial interview with the recruiter/staffing representative, which is designed as a "warm up" and validation and initial screening. Then, you interview with 1-5 people on your potential team (the team with the job opening). The more interviews you have, the better you're doing! At the end of the day (if you reach the end -- it's like Survivor!), you'll have an "As Appropriate" interview with the hiring manager. She/he will make the final "hire" vs "no hire" decision. It's a long day!
