I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bengaluru) in Feb 2016
Interview
4 technical rounds, where they don't ask anything other than code. No introduction, no profile, they just start with coding problems. First a design problem will be given for which you need to write code as well later. The worst part is they only ask 1question, there is no second chance. In case you took time in answering question but you answered correct then also they may reject. How they assess candidates on programming skills on just 1 question is wierd.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
In char array of infinite characters how will you find the shortest region which contains all the elements contained in that array? Also provide time complexity nd write source code?
The first was a talk with the recruiter, then an online assignment with Leetcode Medium type of question. Finally, the 3 round interview with system design, coding and low level design

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)
Interview
The Onsite consisted of 2 system design questions and 2 technical questions. This rounds were back to back and they weren't actually ordered, I thought I was doing to be doing technical first but was hit with design at the start.

Question 1
The design questions made sense for the role (unfortunately I was not aware of the role since I was a general applicant). The two technical questions were not on leetcode but custom questions the interviewers had which were actually not bad.
Five rounds of interview with mostly leetcode medium or hard level problems. It included one design round typical to game design rather than system design. The interview I participa\ted was part of hiring event.
