I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tokyo) in Apr 2017
Interview
3 stages with: HR, PM and technical. You can easily feel the pressure of hoping to give the right answer but they seem to be open-minded and give you a follow-up questions to get to know your way of thinking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You're in a class with a professor who speaks really fast and it is very hard to get good notes from his lectures. What technologies and solutions would you use to get it done.
2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable

Question 1
Tell me about a difficult stakeholder and how you handled the situation
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.
