I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in June 2015
Interview
It was AMAZING. Microsoft really, really treats their interviewees well. All candidates are flown to Seattle and given a chance not only to explore the city but also to get to know the other candidates as well. Great interview experience; 3 interviews back to back in one day but all very friendly.
