I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in July 2015
Interview
Quick interview. Was called in for some live tests. First interviewer was interested to more about personal life than work. Clearly she did not have enough question to ask about work. Later on came to know she has very less experience in the process she was interviewing me for. Other two interviewers were no where related to the work I do (I am telling this because I am in the system now and I have not had to interact them for work till now). They showed lot of attitude and rudeness and was in a hurry to prove why am I not the right candidate for the job. This could be an interview strategy I thought then. Later I came to know they thought me to be very professional. They liked someone who was smiling and shying when she was interviewed. Still I got through because of the first one because she thought I may not be able to flirt but I am good at work. :)

SharePoint, previous experiences, communication plan etc
I went through 3 rounds of virtual interviews, recruiter, hiring manager and a peer interview. I was told there would be 2 more, with the director and VP, but wasn’t pushed through to those rounds.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Mar 2021
Interview
Easy, but very long, it take 2 months for a interview selection and than 3 weeks for a decision. The interview seemed basic to me, maybe a little subjective. But overall, apart from the long waiting period, the experience was easy, I had changed my position in the meantime, I participated in the interview out of curiosity.
