The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Avanade (Houston, TX) in Oct 2011
Interview
Avanade contacted me about a position as a project manager. I told the internal recruiter I was not a good match because I have no experience on the Microsoft Platform. She said they wanted to speak to me because I have the SDLC experience they wanted. Next phone interview went great, had a really good feeling. Second phone interviewer never called me, so I called the recruiter and she said the interviewer reported that I said I didn't want to interview and that he was very upset, and was high in the company and this was not good for me. I told her my phone never rang, he must have dialed the wrong number. He evidently did not want to admit he dialed the wrong number and refused to speak with me again. Another interviewer called me the next day, equally high on the org chart - and we had a great discussion. I was told later that day they decided to pass on me because I did not have specific Microsoft experience. I told him, "you mean what I told you in the beginning?" and he replied, "Yes, and I even see here in the notes where you told them you did not feel you were a good match". Between the disconnect between recruiters and the one guy who threw a temper tantrum at being discovered that he dialed the wrong number - this company scared the hell out of me. If they can't get the interview process right, what else are they messed up on? When they told me they would not be advancing, I was actually relieved, However, I will give them good marks for communicating at the end of the process, it certainly wasn't the latter interviewers, it was the initial screener.

I interviewed at Avanade (Rockville, MD) in Feb 2023
Interview
I had a phone screen with a recruiter. He was very rude and wasted my time. The experience with him turned me off from ever applying here again. If this type of behavior sets the precedent for the culture, don’t apply here!
