      Systems Engineer/Analyst Interview

      12 Jan 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Avanade (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2011

      Interview

      The interview process started with a screening process which basically asked about my general background and stressed that the job would entail 80% travel or more on average. The second interview was a technical interview ranging across all aspects of Microsoft Server tech, IP, DNS, etc. The test was difficult, and I didn't expect to get offered another interview afterwards. I later found out that it becomes progressively harder based on how you answer to truly gauge your technical level. Finally, I was invited to a day long office interview. There were many other candidates there. You are expected to dress for success. You have to write an essay throughout the day in-between other activities, you have to perform a group exercise that later turns into a competition between the various small groups, and at the end each group is asked to have one teammate present their findings, giving a few people the chance to stand before the entire interviewing crowd and hiring staff and talk publicly.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The hardest questions were related to specifics in Active Directory and DNS. There are also conceptual questions like, "How would you describe a database to your grandmother?" or "How would you describe the internet to a three year old?"
