I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MicroStrategy (Washington, DC) in Jan 2014
Interview
The process was fairly easy and straightforward. Applied online and heard back within a few weeks. Phone screening, second phone screening, onsite. No surprises. I wouldn't stress about it too much.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MicroStrategy (Tysons Corner, VA)
Interview
First round started out with a phone interview. Spoke on the phone for about 45 minutes. Questions were a mix of behavioral and problem solving brainteasers. Talked about professional experience and university courses. Received about two brainteasers that made you think a bit, but ultimately weren't too difficult.
Second (and final) round was on site. Had 3 separate 45 minute interviews with different employees in the technology department. Again, the question mix was 50/50 between brainteasers and behavioral. The brainteasers were more difficult in this one than in the phone interview. Was asked to write some SQL on a whiteboard since my resume said I had taken a course in database technology. Quick tour around the building and that was it.
