Interviewing at Microsoft

From the Scobleizer - very useful tips in general!

Ever wonder what it's like to get a job at a big company? Well, our HR department invited me over to spend a couple of hours talking about interviewing. The third part, just posted today, was a mock interview where we did a whiteboard code session so you could see how the interviewer and interviewee think through an interview question.

Part I -- What is it like to interview at Microsoft?
Part II -- Riding the recruiting shuttle
Part III -- Mock whiteboard session

I've interviewed a couple times at big companies now and find the process is similar to Microsoft's, so many of the tips are useful too.
