I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Avanade (New York, NY) in Dec 2011
Interview
There were 2 interviews I had to go through.
Even though I was not selected 6 months ago,
they selected me after 2 interviews.
I was selected for the training program 6 months ago,
but then, I received a call that the quota had been reached.
Hence, I had to wait 6 more months, and I had to call the
recruiter once again in December and repeat the interview process!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the most difficult situation you have been with a client?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Avanade (Melbourne) in Sep 2011
Interview
Process was handled very promptly which was great as at the time I had 2 other offers on the table but 1 job was short term contract and other for small consultancy. Recruiters pushed my 2nd interview forward and I received verbal confirmation the same afternoon after 2nd interview went well. From 1st interview to start date only took 3 weeks for a full time role based Melbourne Australia. Recruiters was based in Sydney which shows good work ethic taking my case into consideration as they did.

Question 1
Was extensively drilled on previous experience at previous employers to ascertain how I went about doing my work, as Avanade is owned by Accenture & Microsoft they have a heavy focus on delivering IT solution based on Microsoft Best Practices. So it is what one can expect when going for an interview at Avanade.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Avanade (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2008
Interview
Recruiter called me from a monster posting. Quick 30 minutes on the phone with the recruiter. They told me up front 80% or more travel. About a week later I had my second interview. This was also on the phone, this time with a technical person, he asked some questions based on my resume, told me about the company and gave me a good idea what to expect. About two weeks after that I had my in person round. This next interview was also technical, but was much harder, I was asked about projects and systems i'd designed and asked why i designed them in that way. Next interview, the same day, was also in person, this time with a director level. This interview was about soft skills. Had i ever been a consultant, what would i do in various difficult customer situations. After this I went home and waited. About a week later I got a call with an offer. We went back and forth a bit, and then agreed on something
