Senior Consultant at Capgemini

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Burbank, CA Aug 2010 – Reviewed Mar 17, 2013

Interview Details – First interview was with HR who also asked some basic computer science questions. Second was telephone interview with senior consultant who asked some basic concepts and technology related questions. Third telephone interview was with the architect who asked some design questions. Flew me over to area headquarters and had interview for 6 hours one on one - two architects, one manager and another principal. Was given written test including some tough questions which they expect you to solve by end of all the interviews.

Interview Question – A couple of the questions on the written were really tricky - took me 45 minutes to solve. Be well prepared in computer sciecne basic concepts, architecture and design, database concepts etc.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – Not able to negotiate much but the salary was in the market range, and they give bonus as well so I didn't have any issues.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Jul 2012 – Reviewed Jul 19, 2012

Interview Details – There were 3 levels of Interviews. Fairly simple procedure but sometimes stressful.
At various stages I was asked about my management and leadership skills.
My second round was slightly more rigorous than the others and this was the round I guess that was the decider in my case.
My recruiter was pretty responsive and helpful which made the process really easy.

Interview Question – Nothing as such. It was mostly experience based.   View Answer

Negotiation Details – I was given an offer but later on the recruiter came back mentioning that they cannot approve the offer and he gave me a slightly lower base salary with a joining bonus. This together added up to be more than my initial offer.

No Offer – Interviewed in Pune (India) Mar 2013 – Reviewed Apr 29, 2013

Interview Details – I had given the interview in Capgemini last month for Pune location.
There were 2 technical rounds (L1 and L2), I had cleared both the technical rounds. On the same day I got the call from HR and they asked me for the documents for background check.
After that I got the salary break-up sheet from HR and I had accepted the given offer (less than expected).
BUT after couple of days when I called HR and asked about the offer letter then they said that the job location has been changed to Mumbai and rejected my application. :(

Happened twice with me, after selecting in final round HR had not released the offer letter. :(

Interview Question – Nothing was difficult, it was all about my technical knowledge   Answer Question
