Avanade uses a four stage interview process. The first step is the recruiter interview. This interview provides the feel for the recruiter to understand if your values and career goals are a good fit for avanade. Do you like to train? Are you interested in constant learning? Are you willing to fight hard to stay on the very front edge of technology? Is travel going to be a problem?

The second interview is a technical interview with either a System Engineer or an application developer, depending on your specialization. In this interview, you can expect to be asked a wide range of questions accross the board to generally cover the gamut of your area of expertise. During this interivew, the interviewer will take the time to work with you on assessing your questions about Avanade and the experience as an Avanade consultant.

The third and fourth interviews are in-person usually back-to-back. In this interview set, a director and another technical consultant will meet with you in person, ask questions that are more focused to your particular skillset and experience. The second technical interview is a chance for another technical specialist to get an idea of how you answer questions in person, how you conduct yourself in a technical situation, and how you present and explain answers. These are highly relevant skills in the consulting environment that may not neccessarily be required in a normal support or operations environment.

The directors job will be to integrate all of the knowledge and recommendations in the first three interviews and then use that information to take a deeper look at the HR and soft skills side of your career experience. The director will utlimately be the one to make the up or down decision on whether or not to extend you an offer.
