Interviewed Dec 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 days)
Got a phone call inviting me for a personal interview with HR and next say with the hiring manager and that same afternoon they made me the offer over the phone. They sent offer letter by courier and I had a couple of days to return and started within a week. Their HR very unprofessional wanted me to start right away without giving notice to my employer but I declined and told him that was not professional and he asked if I could just give one week instead of two and I accepted in fear that the offer would be withdrawn.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 4 days)
I initially had a good phone interview with VP level who passed me on to the manager for the in person interview. The manager stated he was going to bring his "marketing manager" to the meeting at the restaurant. The manager showed up with shorts, sandals, and a wrinkled up shirt.. He then introduced me to his "marketing manager" only to find out she was not even an Avnet employee. He proceed to sip on a frozen alcoholic drink and eat food without offering anything. The other woman did not say anything during the entire time. After the first few minutes of discussing the job, he told me to talk to another company that needed "good sales reps". I told him I already talked to that company and the VP...he told me "he would call him". Then after 30 minutes he told me my time was up because he had a meeting with the other woman there. This had to be the most unprofessional interview I have ever had with no respect for candidates. I have had pleasant and professional experiences with other Avnet employees and am perplexed by their choice for such arrogance representing the company.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 weeks)
Sit down interview lasted about 1 1/2 hours. Interviewed with hiring manager and later was joined by one of the sales team members to go over the roll of sales. Not impressed with the sales person and seemed to be forced into describing his responsibilities by his manager who was also present in the interview.
