I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Met recruiter at University career fair and scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview (3 days later) was mostly going over my resume with a few situational based questions. Two days after phone interview I was contacted to fly to Redmond for onsite interviews. It was a really fun weekend.
They put us in a 5 star hotel, took us to a meet-and-greet dinner (open bar), and we spent the whole interview day in an awesome building full of Microsoft products.
Interviews were 4 45 minute one-on-one interviews with various employees in the same job position I was interviewing for. Nothing surprising about the interviews. Got the results that evening and the offer details later the next week.
