Strangely enough it was my last Microsoft experience. First contact was extremely professional and the interviewers themselves, from low-level to the GM were mannered and collegial. Just a lot of really good conversations about a lot of topics. No weird topping via puzzles, etc. I ended up taking another position which allowed me to work from home, but left with a positive view of Microsoft. For me, I never thought that could happen without brain surgery.
