I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Manille, ) in Jan 2017
Interview
I had 2 days of panel interviews. First day was a virtual interview (over Skype) with 2 managers. On the 2nd day was face-to-face, again with 2 managers. On the 1st interview day the questions were specific to my actual experience. The 2nd day wasn't good--I was quizzed on academic questions as items contained in the PMBOK. I believe these were unnecessary and intended only to confuse and intimidate the candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
From the PMBOK, what are the inputs in preparing a communication plan?
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!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
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.
