I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Charlotte, NC) in Apr 2015
Interview
The interview process was one i never experienced before.This was through the MACH Program. You first have a phone screen. Then if you make is past that you are flown to North Carolina for all expense paid stay. You will meet Microsoft employees and Interviewers the night before at dinner. You will have 4 different interviews. If you have programming languages on your resume they expect you to know how to program! That is the reason you may have got chosen. You are given the opportunity to send an updated resume in before your phone screen, make sure you are familiar with everything on your resume. Every interviewer has a different agenda: behavior and technical(unless you do not state you are technical on your resume).
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.
