The interview process was pretty simple. It involved an initial phone interview, followed by an in-person all-day interview where I met leaders and peers in the various departments (both technical and non-technical). This was then followed by the last phone call from the recruiter.

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.

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.

I applied online, and got a phone interview after a few weeks in September.
The first phone interview was more behavior type questions. There was a second phone interview after a few weeks. This interview focused on technical questions . Afterwards there was an in person interview about a month later in November.
The in person interview went great. Everyone was friendly. There was a 1:1 interview and afterwards you were able to talk to new hires and then afterwards there was a "speed dating" sort of interview with about 10 people. It took about 4-6 hours (lunch included).
The interview process went well however the waiting to hear back was the worst. Initially they said I did well and that they were interested in giving me an offer, however they kept pushing it back. I was in constant communication with my recruiter however the same conversation pretty much kept occurring. They finally messaged me in March saying that they officially had an opening in June and if I was still interested. I said I was and they said they'd let me know about an offer soon. It's April now and I still haven't heard back.
Waiting 5 months for a decision is ridiculous.

The interview was okay, to test your attitude and technical background, and I was applied in school so they will not set a very high standard if you don’t have much experience
