I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2014
Interview
Phone interview that asked a simple coding question and then basically behavioral questions. Then onsite four 45-minute interviews. One of my interviews was a PM interview despite applying for a software development role, but it makes sense that you have to understand both sides. There was also a design-ish interview where I had to think through all the parts of an app and design use cases.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Got interview thru recruiter. asked basic coding questions and some brain teaser questions. Seems like the recruiter didn't communicate w/ the microsoft folks very well. Had a very big company feel. Decided not to pursue.
