I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Avanade (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Best interview experience I've ever had. Recruiter and Interviewers were extremely professional and transparent throughout the whole process.
Contacted recruiter who set up interview process. Two phone-based skill screens and one video conference. Skill screens were obviously more technical and the last one was with a VP who wanted to ensure cultural fit.
Very smooth process overall. Recruiter and HR notified me of each step within a few days of each other.

Question 1
What is a requirements traceability matrix and why is it useful?

Interview
Had a phone and group interview as a large amount of employees are referrals. Getting to see if you fit the position and the crowd for a pleasant work environment is important. Employees get along well and part of the interview felt like working along side them finding how well you fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing very unexpected. Expect to get drilled on in places you do not have experience as well just to see how deep your knowledge is.
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Avanade (Montréal, QC) in Nov 2010
Interview
There was a total of 4 interviews; 3 phone interviews and 1 in person
1. personality/career goals - they try to see if you can be a consultant and if you can fit with the Avanade culture
2. Skills 1: they basically assess your knowledge on the technologies. It's a long interview and answers are often simple (either you know the answer or you don't)
3. Skills 2: they try to confirm your weaknesses/strong points from skills 1
4. In person interview to make the final decision - usually with senior leadership
