I went through three different levels of interviews. All of them up to the hiring manager was very professional. The Pipeline they explained for their next 5 years seemed very exciting! Good luck to them and thank you Management team who gave me good consideration in my eyes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think you could offer as you have heard the details of the job description in more detail?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Initial communications included an email from a generic recruiter regarding the position applied for. There was also a phone call with an initial phone screen from that same recruiter. You were required to fill out a questionnaire that had some technical and some generic questions on it. if you pased the initial phone screen with the recruiter, you were contacted by a recruiter specific to the team hiring for that position. This person was not necessarily the hiring authority. They asked similar questions to the technical questions on the questionnaire, and then addition behavioral questions.

Question 1
Most unexpected question was related to the travel for the job. The job didn't say it wasn't located in another city/state, yet when interviewed I was asked if I would be willing to relocate.
