Interviewed Apr 2012 in Houston, TX (took 3 weeks)
As for the interview process it was 2 phone interviews and then taken to office for 1:1 interview where they were looking at the personality.
The first phone interview was a basic phone interview.
The second phone interview was a technical interview which one should be prepared for. It went over things from software engineering design, database and Microsoft technology. It takes around 1 hour to complete. If someone payed attention and study in school they should not have an issue there. Just make sure you brush up on stuff before the interview.
The communication on how things where going and keep me informed was by far the best I have ever seen. They would call me back and tell me how I did at every step, telling me what I did great on and weak on.

Reason for Declining
I had 2 offers. It was a hard choice but I choose the company that did not require travel and I could leverage both my degrees in.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
After an initial phone interview and a medium difficulty phone technical interview, I was invited for the final interview process at Avanade's Seattle offices.
The interview lasted from 9a-3p and consisted of:
Three 1:1 interviews. These were mainly behavioral, as we had all passed the technical interviews. The purpose of having more than one interview was so that they could compare notes on what they thought about us.
A written assessment. This was simply to evaluate how well we communicated in written form. We were asked to write about why we wanted to work at Avanade.
Lunch. Yum.
A group exercise. We were put into groups of 3-4 and put in a room with one or two observers. We were asked to pick which items we would keep on a crash landing on the moon. It was my impression they were just looking to see how well we worked with others and handled disagreements, differences in opinion, etc.
A group presentation. We presented our results from the group exercise.
The culture at Avanade seems to be positive, "go-getter" without being brutal and cutthroat. I felt at ease during the entire interview process and all of the interviewers were pleasant. I did notice that some of the people we interacted with were pretty informal, and I was on guard not to be TOO informal with them as we were being evaluated.
=Suggestions=
Do your homework about Avanade and the service group(s) you are interviewing for. Become at least conversational about whatever position you are interviewing for. Especially if you're a campus hire, they're not expecting you to know everything, so just be honest, don't freak out, and enjoy the experience.

Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate with them. The offer they made was more than respectable for a first job out of college. However, the recruiter acted like the sign-on bonus I received was something special. Be sure to insist on the sign-on bonus because they do NOT provide relocation packages to college hires.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
It was a series of interviews with people from different dept. One HR, one technical and one new hire from previous batch who will share their work experience thus far with you. The questions are pretty basic questions for a fresh graduate. They include OOP methodologies and definition, string manipulation and database related questions.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 2+ weeks)
The communication with the company over all was extremely positive, literally everyone during the process was helpful and honest. they follow a standard procedure of recruiter interview-behavioural interview-technical interview and in person final interview. i was asked to reschedual once due to time conflicts and commute a fairly long distance for another.

Negotiation Details
There is literally no room for negotiation at least for entry level positions - which is incredibly disheartening. they will give you a salary amount with 1-3k variance.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
They started with a half hour long non-technical phone interview that was basically the recruiter telling you what the job would entail and seeing if you'd be a good fit for the job, go over the resume, and if you can hold a conversation. Then they set up a technical interview which lasted 45 minutes or so which was much harder. I didn't come from a CS background and they asked very specific programming terminology questions, most of which I had never heard of before. Seems very hard to get the job if you don't have that background. Rejection email next day.
