Interviewed Aug 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process tests your real world experience and seeks to authenticate your resume. The interview is situation based and seeks for the interviewer to dig into previous similar instances as examples. The closer the example is to the job being interviewed for, the more weighting it carries. Structure of answers is as crucial as the content of the answers. HR is not forthcoming with closure or feedback. Hint and tip – establish rapport with the interviewer and seek to have all future job related communication with him/her.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 4+ weeks)
Employer conducts frequent walk-ins and first day sees a general aptitude and group discussion tests. Post a week a technical round is conducted. After selection, background check process starts which may take a week to 6 months. Meanwhile a conditional offer is made after the technical round itself. Final offer can be made anything within a month to 9 months (the longest I have heard with the firm). I was lucky to get a final offer in 26 days. Though there are many instances of 7-8 months.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
It was blatant and unprofessional. I was told I do not have a choice to bargain and that the offer I am being made is final. But since I was a fresher, I had to accept. On me asking about why there is delay in making final offer, I was told people wait even a year to get the offer, so I should consider myself lucky to get an offer within a month.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
Summary:
Got a call - Employee Referral
Appointment at 5 PM, panel started interview only at 6:30 PM.
3 members in panel (two pretty young must be analysts, one little older guy)
Experience: One of them was really pissed off with something in life, totally pounced at me. I am an MBA from one of premier institute, I think he must had failed entrance this year again (I am not trying to sound arrogant, but he was really rude to me), the other guy was supportive and the older guy was just nodding and all. They asked question after question and I kept on answering. Then he asked one of the statistical concept which I explained, i think so he dint like me answering, he went into details of the graph and i got confused. Bang on, the older guy said how can you not know this if you have worked in Analytics. My confidence got battered. Then he asked SAS question which I answerd. By now i was little exhausted fielding questions from all three sides. He asked me excel formula, i wrote it correctly except one small goof up. Interview ended here. As soon as i got out the graph came all to my head, as well as what i goofed up in the excel formula.
The guy analyst one, got sadist utmost pleasure i suppose. Anyways a bad experience for me overall. Totally hostile environment.
