I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2008
Interview
After sending the resume, I was contacted by an HR representative to schedule an initial phone interview to go through my resume. After an hour talk, she sent me another email to schedule a technical interview.
It took about 2 weeks until the phone interview, where I was asked questions about design and C coding questions.
Afterwards I received an email that I would be interviewed at Remond, and got a list of recommended reading. The books recommended were goood though a couple of those are too technically deep. Better to practice your Data structures knowledge.
In person I went trough 4 interviews plus lunch , all of which lasted about an hour each and at the end me and other candidates met with a high level exec and got an offer.
