Can I ask one more question? how does the 5 hours interview work? It won't be all gruelling questions?
A different person does each 1 hour. Typically 2 hours before lunch, 1 hour during lunch (at a restaurant or something), 2 hours after. If you make it beyond that -- then you know you're doing really good. It can last 1 or 2 hours longer. You get a mix of people. Some are managers. Some are engineers. Etc. Some like to ask hard questions. Some do more chatting. That’s the way it worked when I was there anyway… things may have changed, but I expect not too much.
That clarifies it! Thanks for the information :-D

You may also get someone that "appears" to be very stupid and does not beleive that your point of view is the correct (especially when it is). This is to test if you get upset with someone who can't grasp a complex issue or won't even try to see your point of view, they may even be a little aggressive. The trick is to never give up and keep exaplain in a slighly firm way until they get it or they chose to give in. You you know you are right stick to your point of view and don't give up. They don't like the weak in MS. It will start with "Explain this is me......." the the interviewer will say "I don't get that.." or "Thats not how I understand it...." Good luck

That is something I hadn't thought of before, but I am prepared for it now. Thanks for the pointer! :-D

I might get paid more elsewhere, but I would like to have some experience at Microsoft and to satisfy my curiousity!
