Big company, have to do what MSFT wants :)
I applied for a Senior Software Engineer role, and they immediately sent me into a take-home coding exercise. The task was to implement an HTTP service for storing and accessing data. I completed it quite easily, including some additional unit tests
There was no formal interview process through an internal transfer from MSFT. This was not a typical interview process since it occurred during a re-organization, and interview processes may differ from one organization to another.
Very well done. I was thoroughly impressed with the team. If I didn't have a much larger offer from another company, I would have accepted. I'd highly recommend this process to potential candidates.
