I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
The interview consisted of 2 written tests, 2 telephonic interviews and 1 face to face interview where I met 6 people. I was very much interested in the development position, but somehow they pushed me to take SDET interview. The team was friendly. Was asked couple of standard puzzles, technical questions related to linked list, dictionary, doubly linked list, binary tree, reversing words in a string, etc. They also asked whether I am passionate about testing and I was not. Although all the rounds went fine, probably they felt I was not at all interested or passionate about testing and they made the right decision of not giving me offer :-)).
Expect technical deep dives, coding challenges, and problem-solving scenarios. Questions will probe your knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design, assessing your ability to build robust systems. yes yus yes
