Interviewed Feb 2012 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
Th process consisted of a initial phone interview. Then a technical skills test phone interview with a current member of the company. If you pass both of those then you are invited to a face to face group interview. During the group interviews you get moved into other rooms to do one on one interviews. Lunch is supplied.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
I was called after meeting an employee of Avanade at a school job fair. They emailed me a week after to follow up. Several days later I spoke to the recruiter on the phone about some basics of my experience and what the company does. Then I spoke to someone in a senior position that I was being interviewed for. This was a technical assesment in which they asked me questions about networking, security, and troubleshooting. Finally, I visited a branch to speak with someone in person. The interview in person asked me the average interview questions such as my experience, describe a time i had to tdeal with a difficult customer, and what makes a good company. Afterward, the recruiter got back to me saying that they would make me an offer within a week or so.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
I spoke to a representative at my college's career fair. Within a week, I was contacted (email) by a university recruiter from Avanade regarding the SE position. We scheduled an appt with a formal recruiter to have an HR style (phone) interview. This interview was rescheduled twice by the recruiter. During the interview, we discussed the general details regarding the organization and the position. He emphasized that Avanade is pretty rigid in their offers to college hires. ($55k max) I was then recommended for the technical interview. This (phone) interview was also rescheduled many times. It was a more rigorous interview which really keyed in on technical knowledge for SE. Once he approved me, I was invited to the Avanade final interview/ orientation day. This was a fairly light interview process and they just wanted to have a 1:1 live interview. Once that was done, I was called by a recruiter within a week and presented a verbal offer. I am in the process of negotiating this offer with the Avanade folks.

Negotiation Details
I am still undergoing the negotiating process. I am looking to negotiate for $60k+. Based on prior interviews, it seems they are very rigid in their negotiations.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2 weeks)
I have went through 3 levels of Interview and Job offers with Avanade. First was a phone interview with one of the Managers. This first interview was pretty standard. I was asked question on what I know, what I have accomplished in the past 3 years and what I have planned in the next few months.
Then the 2nd interview was a 1:1 interview with the Group Manager. This was a technical interview with an on-the spot presentation of the skills that I have listed in my resume.
The last interview was with a Senior Director. The question that was thrown to me was mostly to gauge my communication and thinking skills.
