I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2015
Interview
I had two pre-screen phone interviews with the recruiters. After that I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager had me create a technical assessment and submit it before I was approved for an in-person interview. Microsoft arranged the travel and hotel. They tell you to dress like you normally do.
The in-person interviews took about 6.5 hours. I met with 5 people. Any interviewer can reject you in the process and your interview chain will stop.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
4 rounds of PM interviews. Quick scheduling, happened back to back within 2 days. The questions were around product design and thinking, with few questions on past work experience. If you follow a structured problem solving approach, you are good to go.
