I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HCLTech (Hyderabad) in Jun 2012
Interview
Getting into the company might not be that difficult, just you need to time. Hiring process would be the same as with other companies, nothing special. Interview process slightly liberal as per my experience
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Minimal screening technically so average preperation should be sufficient
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Jul 2009
Interview
Very simple 2 rounds of interview. Most of them in this company are from Tamilnadu or Kerala. So, during the interview if the interviewer (is from tamil / kerala) they will try to select only those candidates who are from tamilnadu or keral. Otherwise they will simply ask about new technologies which they themselves wouldn't have worked (as HCL has all the out-dated technology projects). They will get the projects from the clients which other top IT companies would have rejected.

Interview
Most complicated interview process . questions tease mental ablity to solve tough technical questions. some questions are puzzle oriented . we have to tackle very hard to solve difficult questions . first time looks easy but tough to solve .
