I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sept 2014
Interview
Interview process took two weeks in total - a series of 5 interviews with each area or business unit that the role would be interfacing with. Each interview was an hour long (conducted over Skype) - and also was very revealing as it became clear that each area of the business had very different views on what the role should be prioritizing and bringing to the business. Most of the interviews took a conversation approach - one or two were more pointed with deliberate questions raised. I found the fact that there was an underlying element of asking me to validate the role itself as opposed to why I would be best placed for the role somewhat unsettling.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was asked to give an example of an ambiguous situation I had been in. The question itself was ambiguous and didn't have a clear framework.
2 stage process. Informal and very conversational. Over teams and not in person. Started with who would be my line manager and then the second interview was my hiring manager plus the director.

Interview
I applied online for the role. After submitting my application, I was asked to complete a detailed form covering my background, availability, and salary expectations. Once I submitted the form, I was directed to the hiring manager for the next stage.
At this point, I am waiting to be scheduled for the initial call with the hiring manager. The process so far has been straightforward, clear, and efficient.
