Interview Details – The onsite interview started with a project description by the hiring manager. Then 4 engineers from the group and other groups will have a one-on-one talk with you. Most of questions are about programming skills, and they will ask you to write source code on a whiteboard. One interviewer asked a technical question about how to address a challenging problem in practical environments. My suggestion is, to be prepared, especially on programming skills. Better to have some practice of writing code on a whiteboard before the onsite interview.

Interview Details – A contact I had from previous employment at EMC contacted me to inform me that there was an open position in the group I had worked with before. There was a phone interview to discuss the role and ensure that it was different enough from my previous role in the group to satisfy my interest. After that, I came in for a group interview which was fairly relaxed since I had worked with most of the people before.

Interview Details – HR called up & scheduled a telephonic technical discussion. First round was mainly about OOPS, core java skills, JSPs, Servlets. Then, second round was scheduled two days later. Had a face-face discussion with a senior developer. Interviewer was very cool & this round was more like a discussion based on the scenarios to test what I know rather than testing his intellectual. I thoroughly enjoyed though I missed few things. On the same day, managerial round was also scheduled & had a discussion about project, role, notice period. I was very positive. But later HR updated that I was not get through as I was not good in web services. :(
