I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Jan 2020
Interview
Tough but fair. They are looking for a good two way fit. They will also tell you what they expect out of the position and the metrics by which your performance will be reviewed.

Question 1
Mostly behavioral questions around scenarios related to the job role or previous experience performing in a situation.
Normal interview process, nothing out of the ordinary. Process did drag out a little from start until final round. Interviews were well prepared (looked at resume and likely chatted with each other before the interview).
4 Virtual Interviews, HR, Technical 1, Technical 2, Technical 3
1 In person in Seattle, Washington for whole day.
There were 2 days between each interview and the in person had two week notice as I was unavailable in the first slot.

Initial HR and HM screen followed by a day of 4 interviews with colleagues, cross-functional partners, and leadership. Prep for the Microsoft interview methods, and you'll be fine. Everyone was professional and polite.
