I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Avanade (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I was asked common programming questions like how to reverse a string, what is C# garbage collection, what are the different SQL Joins, Sort an array without using a C# library function. Initial skills screening will involve all kinds of basic questions in .Net and SQL. (For ex:I was asked how much I knew about C# interfaces, desgin patterns , testing procedures, SDLC etc)
