How long has it taken for you to hear back from Microsoft on an application? Had a referral for a strong fit about 3 weeks back but application just says in review

It has varied for me. Sometimes within a week, sometimes a couple of weeks. Some recruiters move faster than others. I've been waiting for an interview to get scheduled for over a week, recruiter told me she would get to it last week, this week told me she'll get to it after lunch. Still nothing. If I didn't have such positive past experiences, this would be a distasteful first experience (re: nonchalance from recruiter).
