I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Monterrey, Nuevo León) in Sept 2018
Interview
It last 1 and a half month to finish the process. The process starts with your recruiter telling you about the next interview you will have. In my case I had 1 interview on site (locally). The recruiter tells you more about what will happen if you ace your next interview with them. In my case, I did not pass to the next interview. They asked me just one technical question, which I solved.
