I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Apr 2013
Interview
Well organised process consisting of multiple rounds. Started with phone screening, followed by face to face interviews.All technical rounds happened on the same day.
First Round : I had an interview run of around 60 mins.
Second Round: Once the first round was completed, I had to wait for about an hour and then was called for the second round.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)
Interview
The Onsite consisted of 2 system design questions and 2 technical questions. This rounds were back to back and they weren't actually ordered, I thought I was doing to be doing technical first but was hit with design at the start.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The design questions made sense for the role (unfortunately I was not aware of the role since I was a general applicant). The two technical questions were not on leetcode but custom questions the interviewers had which were actually not bad.
Five rounds of interview with mostly leetcode medium or hard level problems. It included one design round typical to game design rather than system design. The interview I participa\ted was part of hiring event.
