I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Las Colonias, TX) in Sept 2018
Interview
The interview process took about 7 weeks, starting off with a phone interview of mainly behavioral questions, such as "tell me about yourself" , and "describe how you would teach your grandmother how to use the internet", etc. After the phone interview I received an email a week later inviting me to fly out for the in person final interview in Texas. There I had 3 interviews with 3 different managers from different locations 45 minutes each, also having to prepare a 10 minute presentation for one of these interviews.
The interview process consisted of 3 rounds, 2 technical, 1 Managerial round. Technical rounds focused on what you have mentioned in the resume, so be well prepared for it. Technical round was bit tough.
