I dropped my resume through the Microsoft career site, and their process was very fast. I received an email within two weeks to schedule an initial phone interview. The email mentioned that the interview would be for three positions: Software Development Engineer (SDE), Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), and Program Manager (PM). The interview was quick and smooth.
Initial questions were all about my resume and the projects I have done. There were a few behavioral questions and a couple of questions related to design and testing. Nothing related to coding.
I was told that the result of the interview would be known via email within two weeks, so I am waiting for the reply.
