I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sep 2009
Interview
The interview was with a Product Manager and she asked started with behavioral questions, and then dug into marketing strategy questions.
Finally, there were a lot of questions about Microsft and its competitors. How could Microsoft remain ahead of its competition? What are the current weaknesses of Microsoft and how as a Product Mananger will you improve them?

Question 1
You have $10 million to promote Xbox. How will you break it up?
2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable

Question 1
Tell me about a difficult stakeholder and how you handled the situation
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.
