I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied through a job portal and within 2 days was called for face to face. I have over 12 years experience and was a Team Lead at the last job. This was for the new HCL Products Lab at Jigni. I wouldn't have applied to this company had it been for services. The senior candidates were sent to the interview directly (juniors probably took an aptitude test).
The interview was a disaster. I should have known looking at the wry smile on the previous candidate's face as he came out. It was conducted by two obviously junior level engineers. Their English was atrocious, but more importantly they kept asking pretty basic coding questions and never seemed like ramping up to questions suitable to my experience level, like system design and architecture. Their lack of experience showed in how they wanted to know implementation details of C++ vtable which is not a standard and no sane engineer would care about the nitty gritties, unless they are writing a compiler, and the JD didn't need that . Then they asked CS textbook questions that only recent graduates could try. Worst was the riddle question disguised as a system thread question. I refused to answer these silly questions and the interview ended, Further, I had a resume filled with interesting things (having worked on GUI and graphics of many scientific and engineering products, created cross language framework etc) but none of them was discussed at all.
I complained to the HR contact and she assured me that my resume will be considered for other products. I am not banking on it but wanted to point out that at least the HR was gracious enough.
