Got contacted by a Microsoft recruiter on LinkedIn. 30 minute Skype interview the next day, about basic background, experiences, willingness to relocate etc. Got sent a programming test 2 days later (we agreed on a time as I had 2 hours to complete it). The test was an incomplete implementation of a class and some algorithms relevant to the role. I had to complete it and answer a few questions about performance, common issues etc. I finished in one hour and 45 minutes. Next week I was scheduled for a 1 hour technical interview with a principal engineer of the team I'd be working with. The interview asked about past experience, I had to describe some of the projects I worked on, something I was proud(est) of achieving etc. I could ask questions about the team, their work and anything related to technology and development. The same day I got invited to a full-day on-site interview at the location just 3 days later. Microsoft flew me in the next day so I had some extra time to explore the city and surroundings. The on-site interview was catered to the role and my experience (they crafted a programming test directly related to a past project I mentioned in my CV), and was really well structured. The team was incredibly welcoming and initial nervousness quickly faded away. Microsoft offered me the job on the next day. After that came salary and benefit negotiations, which lasted another 2 days. They also used a third party service for a background check, which basically just confirmed my previous jobs and my degree.
