I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2013
Interview
The Interview Process was a long one. Microsoft has a culture of expecting employees to fill-in for roles that are vacant, and thus do not proceed with a sense of urgency to fill the role. They have a much greater focus on selecting the right fit for Microsoft. Each interview was a progression, moving from technical depth of knowledge, to marketing experience, to personal and cultural fit.

Interview
They were doing mass interviews in Austin - looking for a variety of students to fill front facing technology roles. I was first interviewed at a career fair which was just a resume interview. Then they flew me to Texas for a series of interviews (3 total) one of which included a presentation on anything you were passionate about.
