I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Short 30 minute sessions with three people, a senior manager, a senior director and the general manager. The recruiter was extremely knowledgeable and maintained a high degree of contact and communications throughout the process. All scheduling and logistics where flawless. Unfortunately, this position paid significantly lower than my expectations and current salary.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in five years, what are your strengths (e.g. strengths finder)
Normal interview process, nothing out of the ordinary. Process did drag out a little from start until final round. Interviews were well prepared (looked at resume and likely chatted with each other before the interview).
4 Virtual Interviews, HR, Technical 1, Technical 2, Technical 3
1 In person in Seattle, Washington for whole day.
There were 2 days between each interview and the in person had two week notice as I was unavailable in the first slot.
