I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Arrived 15 minutes early
Waited in the waiting room for about 10 minutes
He arrived and we began early
We started with a design question
Then we moved on to behavioral questions and past experiences
I asked him a few questions towards the end about his own role and life at Microsoft
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a cellphone?
How would this design change depending on the target demographic?
2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable

Question 1
Tell me about a difficult stakeholder and how you handled the situation
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!

Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.
