I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Singapore) in Feb 2014
Interview
Following the online application is the assessment centre. Undergrads and MBAs are put in the same round, 2 group case studies and presentations will be carried out simultaneously. Managers and HR will walk around to review candidates. Following which, the managers who selected you will have interviews with you. I had interviews with multiple managers. It depends on individual managers/their department that determines your placement. Difficulty and type of interview depends on the manager you have. Some requires detailed experiences, some are more concerned about getting to know you and your personality/working style.

Question 1
Why do you think you're a good fit to the company?
Very much focused on group and social interactions, it lasted 1 full day through which we have underwent various exercises from pairing up with a partner and presenting ourselves for 5 minutes to rolling over pairs of managers, group exercises for product delivery and sales pitches as to why we would recommend a product to a several managers. Technical wise, very few questions were asked ( difference between TCP and UDP for example)
