I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in July 2010
Interview
process was really smooth. all went according to expectation. There were 2 interviews and exchange of job offers and T&C. HR were polite and professional, as well as the team manager
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Madrid) in Nov 2018
Interview
Process was good at the beginning. The recruiter was very proactive reaching out and explaining me the process and next steps. But after the 4th interview I never heard back. I wrote the recruiter a couple of times, but she never went back to me. Disappointed.
