Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
2 first round phone interviews. 24-36 hours after the first round I was invited for a final round superday at the site. The superday consisted of a 2 hour interview block. 3 one on one interviews, and 1 two on one interview. Each interview was 30 mins. One interviewer was a complete stress test IMO.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
The position is applied through MS's website. As well as my school's job portal. It was a short notice before the 1st round interview (1day ahead). About a week and a half after, they notice the 2nd round interview. You have about 1 week and a half to prepare before the on site interview.
MS are pretty good on traveling cost. They do pay for everything( flight, hotel etc...)
There are one group interview, follow by 4 round individual technical interviews at the same day on site.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Would never interview with them again. The whole process took over a month and required 2 phone interviews and a face to face just for a consultant position. In addition, it appeared that they were looking for any insight the potential consultant could provide in terms of solving their business issues. Needless to say, after they got the information they needed, they declined to make an offer.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in New York, NY (took a day)
My first interview was for a temporary job with no specific end date. I interviewed with the person who would be directly managing me and a person that did my job in the past and another person that would be in my group. With my past experience I got the job fairly easily. However, I did not receive any training in how to do my job function because the person that did my job in the past left to another group. My manager at the time had no idea how to do my role and I had to figure out how to do my job by piecing together what was going on. Also, my function was not the same as what I was told. After figuring out my role and doing it successfully I decided to apply for a job with a different group.
By socializing within the office I was able to get another interview for a permanent position within a different department fairly easily. This time around the interview and training process was very professional. The shortcoming of the first interview did not reflect on the company but more on the shortcomings of my manager. Also, it is very difficult for consultants or temps to fulfill their roles because either no one wants to do their role or no one knows how to do their role.

Negotiation Details
I deeply regret not negotiating my salary. You are definitely able to negotiate and I later realized as a temp I could have made twice as much as I was making. Making a transition from a temp to employee you have leverage to negotiate most things, even your job title.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 days)
I met the recruiter at the college. From there I stayed in contact with the recruiter. I was able to get an onsite interview. The interview process on site consisted of several 1:1 interviews. Each interviewer was different. One was very straight forward the other one was very nice and easy to speak to. Overall it was a good day.
