Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 1 week)

The interview process was quite similar to other software companies. It started with a written test( some technical puzzles - for which we need to come up with solutions in the programming knowledge u prefer, it was mostly based on datastructures, but the time was very limited. so u r not supposed to spend too much time on any question. Even if u write program pseudo code that was considered enough) .Then after the interviewer was happy with the written test. He started with the first round tech interview- which moved across wide range of topics - from core java -> servlets & jsp -> spring. Most of them were not direct questions, but still very much answerable, once u have enough exp on those stuffs. 2nd round is again technical on the same lines as first round. 3rd round is mostly managerial/HR - evaluating your soft skills and reason for your change etc.

A stupid hiring process.... People who have never worked or never got exposure to a particular technology come and interview you... they study your resume at the interview time and place...
