Interviewed May 2010 in Pune (India) (took 2 days)
My interview was scheduled by a consultant in Hyderabad. I went to their office and after 2 hours of wait attended the technical interview. Was asked very basic questions on Oracle pl/sql and about Unix commands. Total time taken was around 30 minutes. Actually you dont even know before it gets over :)
Then my PDM round was scheduled next but the guy had to leave so it got postponed for coming monday. Went to IBM, Hyd office and they made me wait for around 1.5 hours and then I was asked to come in for the interview. There was a senior manager and a HR lady sitting. I was asked generic questions on my experience at my current job. then they negotiated the salary and promised that i will get the offer letter in a week or so.

Interviewed May 2009 in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) (took a day)
They called me up over phone and it was a good 1-hour interview. Questions ranged from Core Java, XML, Servlets, and some RDBMS concepts. I would rate the questions to be rather easy but pretty broad within the specified subjects. I was confident of having answered about 75% of the questions pretty well, and made reasonable guesses for the rest.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 1+ week)
I had a phone interview for technical knowledge, and another from HR, asking how soon I could join, to which I said in about 2 weeks; how much salary I want, to which I replied I would rather first see IBM offer and then decide, but I gave my last employment offer doc. I was also asked if I am willing to relocate, to which I said yes.
Both interviews were conducted in the space of 3 days. My agency told I cleared both interviews, as I was expecting.
Now one week is passed, and no offer yet. HR is not responding.
I am selecting a negative experience because I am in the dark; however the guys that interviewed me were technically good and well mannered.
My purpose is to ask if it is the norm to not being intimated anything for a long time? and how long?
