I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at HCLTech (Noida) in May 2015
Interview
2 or more technical interviews were held. Both were 1st round of interview for different projects. I have no point of contact even though I told the interviewer multiple times to provide the same. Got a call of HR after a month for HR round. In this 1 month I didn't receive a mail, call from there side.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HCLTech (Phoenix, AZ) in Dec 2013
Interview
Relatively easy,just asked the basic concepts. Had 2 rounds of telephonic interview and then a skype with the hiring manager.
then had another round with client, which is not mandatory with every client. But before client round, offer was released
Had two round of interviews with senior managers. It was casual conversation...they asked me about my past experiences.
But there was very poor communication in between interviews. They would ask my availability and not get back to me for weeks.
I had a bad feeling about the company from the interview process. I was right - the company: its communication, culture etc is aweful.
