I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Dec 2013
Interview
Some consultant called me and arranged for an interview. And i was surprised to find that it was only a name sake arrangement. HCL has planned a walk-in and I had to wait for atleast 1 hr to get my turn.
Interview questions were easy. They needed a lot of people. So not picky.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A few domain based questions.
Mostly programming. like code to display + in a particular design, code to manipulate pointers ... etc ..
My interviewer was observing the syntax and not the approach.
The interview process was quite easy and straightforward. Anyone with strong technical knowledge and a clear understanding of concepts can confidently answer all the questions. It mainly focused on basic technical skills, and with proper preparation, candidates should find it simple to perform well and succeed in the interview.
