Telephonic (Technical contains Selenium and Java concepts basics and from book only)
Written test (on paper big bunches of lots of bookish JAVA, SQL and Selenium questions. Salary negotiation)
Face to face (Technical yes! again from books. No real time situations or scenarios been asked ignoring your rich experience in the same. Salary negotiation)
Again Face to Face - Not so technical it was about salary negotiations (i.e. offering hike in pennys only because they think you are a beggar as you are in a need of job.) basically by non HR person. Yes everybody is part time HR here.
Manager (Honesty will not be considered as one of your key value. Idealistic answers will entertain first. Thank god Salary negotiation was not here)
HR (Salary negotiation)
Process took a week. (with feedback infinite weeks, yes don't expect this long rounds feedback from anyone they just need some entertainment by taking lots of irrelevant interviews of a job needy person) Waste of time process and they show that they are ready to take you in the team which is not itself sufficient to do some innovative task for the products and frameworks which are outdated.
Tip for interviewers: If you are clear from any of the point of technical interview that you should not hire someone, please reject them at the very time. Nowadays time is money and you guys better understand this as being an investment banking company.
Big name company offering hike in coins. ( I don't know how current employees suffer their appraisals every year )
Refer to the commonly asked questions for Java and Selenium from any of the websites. Even 2014 internet content will be sufficient to crack the technical interviews.
There is no need to get yourself updated with the latest and emerging technologies.
