Interview process was okay, but they clearly already had a hire in mind. They ended up hiring someone from the team. recruiter reached out later to suggest I join two other processes.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jan 2016
Interview
It is a video interview. Has 6 questions, more is about there culture and services. I applied for finance but it ask me lots of questions about marketing and how to deal with their customers. How to improve their consumer services. The time limit is 1 min， I found it is really difficult to answer one question only in 1 min.
A phone interview took place the first, followed by three or four interview loops, typical 45 minutes each. Directors joined during the Interview. Nothing surprising but the process was slow. Response/rescheduling time took a while. At the end, the job was closed when I was in the final stage. So it became all waste of time.

Question 1
Nothing much, the typical stuff - when can you start?
The interview process was very efficient, it was fully remote. First call was with HR regarding profile scanning and my motivation to apply. Second call was with direct line manager (local CFO) 45 min and third call was with a peer working on the same department 30 min

Question 1
nothing mind blowing normal interview questions regarding your current roles and responsibilities. also how much you know about Microsoft and their current financial status..etc
