I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Fargo, ND) in May 2013
Interview
It is a very long interview process in very small rooms.
The interview process is Okay, but their hiring process is more based on how you look on paper instead of your actual talent. They think they can train their product better to candidates that may have potential than hiring someone who is already doing their job for them at a consulting company where no training is needed and their employee's want this person hired.

Question 1
One question asked is how you found yourself in a situation where you worked well with a team.
5 rounds of interview- 1 hour each. Logical questions related to the role and previous experience. Every interviewer was calm, kind and knowledgeable. The process was quick. The schedule was on time.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
I first had a discussion with the hiring manager and then 3 short interviews with 3 different people that'd I'd be likely working with regularly. The interviews were focused on cultural attributes -- growth mindset, customer obsesses, diverse and inclusive, and finally One Microsoft.

Question 1
Tell me about a mistake you made and how you learned from it.
The Interview process was intense. I interview for the Bing Ads team and the questions were quite technical regarding experimentation and A/B testing. Focused on the publisher prespective and how the experimentation platform was built. Not much behaviourial questions were asked.
