July 1, 2013

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First was an aptitude cum technical MCQ test.

Then 1-2 rounds of technical interviews (depending on your performance, some selected in the 1st, some in the 2nd). Main questions were from OS (Operating Systems), CSA (Computer System Architecture), stack usage, and basic programming.

Finally, there is the HR interview (general questions about yourself, family, and future interests).

Questions

Various random questions about yourself in technical interviews, even in technical ones. In HR, they will try to know if you will be in their company for a long time or not. Never ever reveal your plans about future study, as they will try to extract this out from you.

Pros: Good company, good working environment, and good people around to work with. Can learn different technologies depending on the business group you are in.

Cons: Core development of new stacks or new tech happens mainly in India or Dallas. So, if you happen to not be in those areas, your work will be mainly inheritance work from those main sites. Schedules can be hectic. People are leaving, but with no replacement coming in, you are left with more work to support more products. It is very hard to get onto the tech ladder if you don't know how to sell yourself, or if you're only executing your tasks and not trying to do any extra activities. Seeing your work being moved to India can be depressing.
