The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2007
Interview
The process started with a screening interview by phone where the recruiter asked questions related to the resume and some basic technical questions like what's the difference between c++ and java.
After that I went through 4 or 5 technical 1:1 interviews with different people of different groups inside MS, like office, printing, etc. The 1:1 interviews consisted of producing an algorithm to solve specific problems which required the use of data structures and general programming skills. Be prepare to defend your algorithm in terms of performance (asymptotic notation) and corner cases.
One of the most important things to do during the process is to _verbalize_ your thoughts during the creation of your algorithm/design.
Expect technical deep dives, coding challenges, and problem-solving scenarios. Questions will probe your knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design, assessing your ability to build robust systems. yes yus yes
