There are 5 stages of interview. First one was telephonic interview. It was purely technical - C++, databases, Unix. Next stage was face-to-face interview. Second interview was F2F and purely technical, which lasted 2 hours. At the beginning of this interview, I was told that whether I have more interviews or not will depend on how I fair in this interview. Second F2F was with the manager of the team, which lasted 45 minutes. It was totally CV-based. Third F2F was with HR. It also lasted one hour and consisted of typical HR-type questions and CV-based questions. It was almost a repetition of the second F2F. Last stage was a telephonic interview with the NY team. I have a really bad experience with this interview. The interview was arranged for 10 PM on a Friday night, and the interviewer did not call. It was rearranged for Monday night. Even then, he did not apologize for not calling on Friday. Also, the way he started the interview, it seemed he had really made up his mind not to take it. He asked me a very vague scenario-based question, and when I asked questions, he replied, "You have to decide that for everything," and finished the interview abruptly.
