The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jun 2010
Interview
The question was given the definition of a Fibonacci sequence, write a function to give the n-th term of the sequence. I recognized right off the bat that there was both a recursive and non recursive solution to the problem. I wanted to code the non recursive solution because it would be inherently better than the recursive solution. However, the interviewer asked me to do the recursive one instead. I stumbled a little bit with the special cases but quickly realized my error and came up with the correct solution. My concern was that I did not slam dunk this like most people do but I still managed to come up with the correct solution. Problem is I'm not quick enough.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2020
Interview
Full day process broken into multiple individual one on one interviews which can include time at the blackboard writing snippets of code or scripting. Not for the faint of heart or the unprepared.

I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sydney) in Mar 2015
Interview
Applied through a university recruiter, and got to do an on-campus interview. The question was very easy (add an item to a sorted linked list) and I got to fly to Sydney for the next round. The second round consisted of 4 individual interviews with different people, with a range of difficulty for their interview questions.
