I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dubai) in Jun 2011
Interview
Many people in the process, highly qualified people involved, smart questions and challenging interviews.
I think the decision was taken after the first interview but a lot of additional validations were needed as hiring managers are not fully empowered to take decisions without a support network.
