I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Fairly straightforward, mostly behavioral type questions. One phone interview and onsite/panel (Skype).
Specifically, my process was a bit unique in that I spoke with a team member first (phone screen) and then spoke with team/panel. I was not granted an onsite, rather a Skype based panel.
Process was very broken and seemed recruiters did not actively communicate with hiring team. Was told 2 days prior that I would be traveling onsite. One day before, I was given instructions for a Skype dial in call. Was also not given schedule/timeline until day of.
Did not receive any sort of communication after interview process (including a 3 hour Skype panel interview).
Advise to interviewee -- make sure you bother the recruiting team for all details as the recruiting process seems a bit broken.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to deal with ambiguity?
Very corporate and did not seem to go over any of my actual strengths that would benefit the job posting. However, the corporate structure made sure that the overall process was very smooth and organized.
