I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Noida) in Sep 2012
Interview
Got a call via email. Faced 5 rounds of tests. Very competitive as 40 were selected out of 900. They won't qualify you until they see a spark in you. Interview rounds will test every aspect of you right from your personality, your background, your academic life from school till college, technical approach and your soundness in the same. Communication skills are of foremost importance, you can't escape it nether can compromise over it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at HCLTech
Interview
My resume was found online was contacted by a third party recruiter. Then contacted by the company HR to come in for an interview that week. Alot of confusion since the position went from temp to perm was dealing with one person then switch to another person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They make you take a test to see your excel, internet, and math knowledge. Other than that no questions was difficult. Was told I would receive an email but nothing as of yet. It has been 3 weeks.
company is great place to work and interviews typically becomes easy for candidates when hr's make them comfortable. That is something assured at HCL. APTITUDE then technical and finally hr round. Little tiring process but worthy. Maths, reasoning, basic English, computer skills and language skills are key area of aptitude test.
