I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
The interview process at Microsoft is often long and convoluted. Be prepared for it. If you make it through screening then you'll be put in an 'interview loop'. These loops differ in length. For a marketing role you'll have a day of scheduled interviews. If the feedback is positive from those interviews then you will be put forward for a final interview with the AA or As Appropriate. They don't tell you this ahead of time so be prepared.

Question 1
None come to mind outside the usual interview questions.
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.

Interview
Initial HR and HM screen followed by a day of 4 interviews with colleagues, cross-functional partners, and leadership. Prep for the Microsoft interview methods, and you'll be fine. Everyone was professional and polite.
