I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Raleigh, NC) in Oct 2017
Interview
First I had a one hour technical phone screen, they only asked one technical question (linked list related) . Later I was invited for an on-site interviews at Microsoft RTP office. Scheduling of the interviews was pretty confusing because they kept sending me general messages that related more to Redmond interviews.
I had total of 4 interviews each lasted for about 45-min. The problems were easy (I expected worse), I would recommend brushing up on basic data structures (hashmap, hashset, linked lists, etc) and knowing how and where to use Comparator. Lucky for me they didn't ask too many general behavioral questions, all were related to my resume.
They asked some questions I later found in CTCI book.
The hiring process consists of a HackerRank home exam, followed by three technical interviews covering LeetCode-style problems and system architecture. Once this is done, you will have a final HR interview.

I interviewed at Microsoft (Cairo, Cairo Governorate)

One HR interview, then two problem-solving interviews (beginer level) on HackerRank. You can choose the best programming language for you to use in solving problems. You should think out loud to enable your interviewer to understand how you would think to solve the problem.
