Process
Applied online and, within a few days, received an invitation for an initial phone interview. The phone interview lasted 30 minutes and was somewhat technical and resume-based. I was told that if selected, I would receive an invitation for an in-person interview at Redmond, Washington. I am still waiting to hear back, though.
