I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Philips (Bengaluru) in Jun 2015
Interview
There were 2 rounds: 1 Technical round and 1 HR round
For the technical round, I was interviewed by the architect. He asked me to explain about my previous projects. Questions were around that to assess how much I really understood what was done and why it was done the way it was done. This went on for about 20 mins.
After this round, I was given a form to fill and then I waited for the HR round
HR round was with the hiring manager and a HR person. Questions ranged from how much is your expected salary, is it negotiable, how have you handled mangerial challenges in the past, how would you handle conflicting task directions from architect and manager etc,,,,
After this, I was told that I was offered. The official offer took about a month to be processed.
