I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sydney) in Apr 2010
Interview
The interview process at Microsoft is reasonably long with up to 6 interviewers on the loop. Interviews are fairly tough and focus on competencies and open ended questions. At times feedback can be fairly limited and the time between interviews can leave you feeling a little in the dark and frustrated. Overall, the process is fine.

3 rounds - recruiter, hiring manager, stakeholders. overall good but since they had a very specific experience they were looking for (which I did not have) that should have been the gate from the start

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Four rounds of interviews by various stakeholders who would work with the role being interviewed for. Every interviewer had a different perspective and would interact with the role differently. Really gave a great 360 view of what the role would entail.
