I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Began with a technical interview in person, going over a few behavioral questions and one technical question. Followed up with flying out to Seattle for a five round series of technical interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Each interviewer gets to pick the questions they asked. Many of them asked open-ended design questions, such as "how would you design a TV?"
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.
