I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
good interview, total 2 informationals (1 telephonic and 1 in-person) and final on site interview with 5 people. It took a while to get all paperwork. The onsite interview was good, but tiring as it went on for entire day. You need to prepare well as you can expect questions from different fields. Overall, interview experience was good, got an offer very next day. The hiring manager was very keen on hiring.
5 rounds of interview- 1 hour each. Logical questions related to the role and previous experience. Every interviewer was calm, kind and knowledgeable. The process was quick. The schedule was on time.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
I first had a discussion with the hiring manager and then 3 short interviews with 3 different people that'd I'd be likely working with regularly. The interviews were focused on cultural attributes -- growth mindset, customer obsesses, diverse and inclusive, and finally One Microsoft.

Question 1
Tell me about a mistake you made and how you learned from it.
The Interview process was intense. I interview for the Bing Ads team and the questions were quite technical regarding experimentation and A/B testing. Focused on the publisher prespective and how the experimentation platform was built. Not much behaviourial questions were asked.
