I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in July 2010
Interview
2 phone interviews, then 3 Live Meeting Interviews within a day instead of the on site interview.
The phone interviews went well. But problems happened during the Live meeting interviews.
I never finished each question because each interviewer spent more than half an hour trying to share notepad through Live Meeting. So, there were no time to complete the coding questions.
Phone interview and then in person with a group. Process moved fairly quickly. Team fit questions and coding questions on the white board. Study up for all basic knowledge skills and some complex problems.
