I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2010
Interview
The interview had a very technical focus. The interview also had a strong management focus. Met with key people from Development, Product Management, and Test (QA). Mostly interactive behavioral questions. There was some up in front of the whiteboard technical discussions as well.
