I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (São Paulo, ) in Apr 2010
Interview
I was first interviewed by a recruiter of the agency that gave support to the process. Then I was directed to an interview with the HR analyst of Microsoft. In the same day I went to an English school to have tested my level in the English language. I did both written and conversation tests there.
Four weeks later I was interviewed by 3 managers from the team of the director I would assist. It took two days. All of them were very receptive and deeply interested on understanding who I am. It seemed more as conversations between people that were just introduced than a traditional interview with questions and answers.
The process would have one more step with an interview with the director, but I was informed three weeks later that the process was over.
I was very pleased to be there and learn a little bit more about the company from the insiders. The only thing I would complain about is regarding the long periods without any answer.
