The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jan 2009
Interview
Interviewed with a panel of 3 people - Head of department, my potential direct supervisor and a potential co-worker.
They asked me several high level questions about C#, how it compared to C++ (i.e., garbage collection, constructors/destructors), several network administration questions (OSI model, how firewalls work, port filterting), differences between scripting and compiled languages, how DNS works and generally high level questions. No white-boarding.
