I applied online. I interviewed at HCLTech (Electronics City) in Feb 2019
Interview
The interview process was not well coordinated and the online exam happened with 2 systems for 20 people with 1 hour each. There is no First come first serve basis.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Jun 2018
Interview
It is one of the nonsense interviews that I have attended. To complete only one round I waited around 6 hours. I got a mail from the company by Eswari saying that interview is scheduled but when I reached the venue 1st Phase in electronic City(near Bharat Petroleum, Bangalore), there were so many people like a walk-in interview. There was an only telephonic round. The profile requirement was DevOps, GIT, Java or Python and Build Tools. The interviewer asked me the questions on Chef, Jenkins, and Python. I have answered all the questions correctly. The interviewer told me that I am fit for all the skills but the requirement is for Java and DevOps. These people don't know the difference between "and" and "or".

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Feb 2017
Interview
My serious condolences to the interviewees with HCL technologies. I received multiple calls from recruiting agencies stating my CV has been shortlisted by HCL and I was requested to attend interview.
I rode all the way from Hebbal to Electronic city, Bangalore. Residents of Bangalore can truly understand the pain in reaching these extremes of Bangalore. After 2 hours ride, I reached HCL interview location in Electronic City.
I did submit my resume to concerned POC and I was told to have a seat and they will call me for face-to-face interview.
After sometime, I was called and asked to leave the premises saying skills I possess will not be interviewed. I wanted to question HR for their recklessness of shortlisting CV without going through resumes before and on the day of interview, they made people to leave with dismaying statements.
I seriously pity HCL management for employing these low-standard industry HRs. I will never join HCL nor attend interview. Should you have any ethics leftover, I would suggest you to educate your recruitment teams to treat interviewees professionally. They should spend at least few minutes to go through candidate resumes before shortlisting and inviting to premises.
Shame, shame!
