Application
I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Diego, CA (US)) in May 2010.
Interview
First I received a phone call asking me if I was interested in the position. I agreed to meet for an interview 1:1 and then was asked to come back for a group interview at the end of the week. They group interview was different. They asked us to perform small presentations to the group why the person on our right or left should get the job. In the end they were trying to see if you could sell or not. Go in with an open mind and feel free to add some humor into the mix.

Very detailed interview. First you go through a telephone interview, then a group interview and finally a one on one interview. The questions are very customer service based.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Boston, MA (US)).
Interview
Hiring/interviewing is fairly inconsistent and isn't explained well. Submitting a resume through the website doesn't necessarily guarantee feedback. Taking a resume into the store leadership is far more effective.
Interview Questions
Negotiation
There is no negotiation for pay. They have set pay scales that they strictly adhere to.
