I applied through college or university. I interviewed at MicroStrategy in Mar 2013
Interview
Got a on-campus interview. The interview start with talking project on my Resume. Instead of go into technical details, it focus on how you improve your project, like, if there is another interfere added in, what would you do to solve the problem; what potential problem in your system. And then, two brain teasers are asked. Finally, ask me what do you know about their company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are two islands, A and B. All the people from A island always tell the truth, while all the people from B island always lie. Then, three people are picked from these two islands, but we don't know which one from island A and which one from island B. You first talk to the first people, he said,"Both second people and third people from the same island", then you talk to the second people, he said"Both first people and third people from the same island", finally, you in front of the third people, what would he say?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MicroStrategy
Interview
Referred by a friend in the company and got an interview from the HR in about 1 week. Just general questions like why microstrategy. Got another phone interview in a week. They asked you to solve a problem. Then three to four intelligent questions like how to find the fastest horse.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at MicroStrategy
Interview
Told the last day before the originally scheduled on-ground interview that their people were not able to come. Did phone screen instead. Same process as mentioned by others: personal experience; teasers; what QE teams do.
Some questions are widely available online; Some question didn't quite make sense: I was asked to be specific how I would test Google, and the manager didn't come up with clear instruction on what specific product and functionality when I asked.
The manager talked in a speedy monotone, sort of sensed she wasn't in a good mood.

not very technical; enough practice with brain teasers will help you do well
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MicroStrategy (Tysons Corner, VA) in Dec 2013
Interview
I applied through employee referral. The first interview was HR screening. No problems there. I was then set for an hour interview for analytical test. I interviewer had 4 questions for me, simple and just like the ones in this website. I was called for an on site interview after that to be interviewed by 3 people. The first one had a programming/testing type of question, the second one had a quality type of question related to app developing and bluetooth technology. The third interviewer didn't show up. I was told they would schedule me for a phone interview with the third guy. I haven't heard ever since.
