I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (King of Prussia, PA) in Nov 2018
Interview
I submitted an application on the Microsoft website on a Saturday, and I was contacted through email by a recruiter the following Tuesday. We scheduled a phone interview for the following Wednesday, and she also sent me a questionnaire to complete. During the phone interview we discussed why I was interested in Microsoft, as well as what the position entailed. It was very brief and friendly. I was then told that I would be contacted by the hiring manager to schedule an in-person interview. I was contacted that same evening (still Wednesday) to schedule an interview for the coming Friday. I interviewed with the hiring manager and she was very personable. After our interview she had me interview with the general manager (still Friday). She was also a nice woman, and very direct. I was told I'd be contacted once decisions were made. I sent a thank you letter that evening. I received a call on Monday that I was offered the position. A background check was then conducted and concluded within a week and a half of the offer.
1 group interview - you were required to pair up and sell a product as part of the group interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Mississauga, ON)
Interview
super cool, met up in a store with a large set of people and was filtered into different interview rounds. Made us present why a partnered person would be a good hire.
Got an email from external HR. Did interview on the phone, and got rerouted to the store. They asked me to come in to the store to do interview and did 2 interviews there.
