It was very short. It lasted less than an hour. Two people were there, besides me. It was a nice place. They give you free lunch. There was plenty of parking. I would recommend it to anyone.

Interview
There are 5 interviews in a day. Final interview is conducted by the manager whose team you're going to join and he ahs the final say in the hire-no_hire decisions. Each interview lasts about an hour. Interviews are conducted in each interviewer's own office and after interview (s)he walks you to the other interviewer's office. I found people here at Microsoft to be very pleasant
