I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
The first interview was a mix of technical questions and behavioral questions, but more focused on the technical side. I was asked questions about the specific softwares I used in my projects.

I applied online. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Bend, OR) in Feb 2026

Only spoke with one person from HR, they mostly asked technical questions, and would interrupt me often. They didn't even know what R was. Do with that what you will.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Boston, MA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Reached out by the HR team to submit my profile. Forcefully Scheduled my interview the next day, as apparently they want to fill last few slots for this role. The HR wouldn't accept my request to schedule it for a later date which would have helped me prepare well for this interview. This was one of the strange exchange I have had with any Hr team in a company.
