I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jun 2008
Interview
A preliminary phone interview followed by an interview loop. Each member of the interview team has an area to cover. They escort you to the next person and then real quickly fill out an assessment. A bad assessment and your interview loop ends. For full time positions, be sure to stress how exciting it will be to work at Microsoft. Drink the koolaid. Sometimes the loop ends with an interview with the group director.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
The interview process was very straightforward. Two interviews in the same week with three people in each interview over Zoom. Questions were fairly normal for the position and I felt comfortable asking questions at the end.
With this team, the process was wonderful. The people were engaging, respectful, and we even got to joke around a bit. Don't forget to show your personality in interviews. It matters.
