I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Pune) in Feb 2014
Interview
Direct (Technical+HR) Interview call via eLitmus based on the pH score of the candidate (For those who don't know what eLitmus is: Well, simply put, it offers job-seekers an outlet to get genuine & really good interview calls from mostly, start-up companies/firms. One needs to register on the eLitmus site, take the pH Test, get a pH score & start applying for jobs via/on eLitmus. If shortlisted, one will be called for further evaluations depending on the company's system/process.).
Though, the first round was supposed to be a Technical Interview, I was not asked any technical questions... Only a brain teaser, that I could not answer at that time (in 2-3 minutes).
:-(
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are 28 similar (meaning one cannot distinguish one from the other in any way just/simply by seeing or touching) coins, out of which 1 is slightly heavier than the rest (meaning that the weight of each of the remaining 27 coins is the same). Find the heavier coin in minimum no. of iterations.
When I asked, "Is that it, sir?", the interviewer replied that I could use a weighing machine.
When I asked, "Which weighing machine to use, sir... Digital or Beam/Physical?", he replied that I could use any.
