I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Applied through university, was contacted a few days later for an on-campus interview.
Was invited to have an on-site interview in Redmond 4-5 weeks later.
4 interview rounds.
The three most important skills they were looking for are:
1) the ability to code well
2) the ability to test correctly and creatively
3) the ability to learn quickly
Microsoft provides many great resources for preparing for your interview and if you utilize them correctly, the interviews you will face should not be terribly difficult.
