I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
I got an verbal offer from Microsoft San Francisco office (MileIQ). Later they pursued another candidate without a reason. They should be more cautious giving verbal offer. The recruiter a senior lady was very unprofessional if not disgusting. Very fake. I will never work with her again. I never thought such a big company would do this. First time onsite with MSFT. Very disappointed with Microsoft. MSFT/MileIQ is the worst experience of job hunting so far.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jan 2019
Interview
An easy but long process, with lots of interviews (I actually think that's good), very decent.
The interviewers were very professional, trying to really understand you ways of thinking rather just asking the questions and expecting for answers.

Interview
Great, comfortable and really enjoyed the process from start to finish. It went well and typical questions asked. They were open to answering all my questions too. Delighted with the rapport.
