I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Skype (London, England) in Jan 2013
Interview
I was originally applying to a separate job for Bing. Bing got me to do a short technical test. I was then told the position was no longer open and I was suggested the job at Skype. Skype asked me to do a tech test over the weekend at home. There were then four in-person interviews where they grilled me about the solution I'd given and asked a couple more basic coding questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a program which implements "auto-complete". Given a large list of names (forenames and surnames), create a UI that the user can start typing a name into, and for each letter typed, the names for which the text is a prefix appear below the text box.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Skype (Tallinn) in Dec 2014
Interview
Great time with the process, I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. I had a Skype call with the recruiter that made a background check. After that she connected me with a team manager that explained me the job position and what I would do there, also he asked about my interests.
Next step was to complete an assignment that they sent to me through email. I had one week to complete it.
Then I had a F2F interview in the Skype HQ.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Skype (Prague) in Jan 2014
Interview
One afternoon of interviews which turned out to be plentiful. Divided up into several passes, about 5, each with a different person holding the interview. In the end it wasn't that much effort required to complete it.
