Interviewed Sep 2011 in Fremont, CA (took 6 weeks)

Office was for the most part empty ("employees at the client site most often"), nice lobby and conference room. Many interviews by phone and in person. Company used the STAR format for asking guiding the discussion (Situation, Tactics, Actions, Results). As interviews continued, not much new in the information exchanged - redundant conversations - felt like it was "going thru the motions" activity.

Interview Questions

Describe a scenario when you failed in meeting customer expectations and the actions you took as a result.

Reason for Declining

Compensation package too low.

It was great experience. This was the first company to come in our college for campus recruitment. It started with a presentation from the recruitment team. They talked about the structure and working culture of the company. They also disclosed the package (Year 2011, 3.25 Lac per year). the presentation was followed by the IQ test, which included two sections, Verbal ability and the reasoning. After an hour the selected candidate names were announced. They were than interviewed. Interview was more or less normal interaction, one on one type. out of total 220 selected for Interview, 214 were finally selected to join the company.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)

The interview began with a test which focused on analytic, and reasoning skills reasoning and aptitude. Out of 1088 candidates 88 were selected, Yes i remember because the number was announced.The other candidates weren't made to wait too long which is great considering the fact that the 1:10 (almost) elimination ratio in the first round was frustrating for a few.

The next was a interaction round (similar to an HR interview, but quite different, in their words). This was very general and 67 out of 88 candidates were selected, indicating that this was not meant to be an elimination round but a assessment round. This round was very general and focused on issues like team building, reacting under stress, etc. Overall it was a good experience for those not selected (we went in a group) and confidence booster to those selected.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)

First stage was the presentation from the HR about the company. Next was the written test which included all types of reasoning question - quantitative as well as English based. After the shortlist, folks were called from 1:1 HR interview which was general, based on the resume submitted and scores in college. Some have technical interview round as well. But, that depends on luck and chances for which are minimum.

For the interview process, first there will be a written test which includes topics from basic mathematics and English that tests your grammatical skills. The most interesting part is the section that tests your problem solving skills. One can expect puzzling questions in this section and working on "puzzles to puzzle you" book may render helpful. If the candidate clears this round, as per our interview we were directed to a panel (HR round) where we had a personal talk / interview with an employee from the hiring team who tested our communication skills. (some times again problem solving skills). With this you are done with the interview process and will be waiting for the final list of selected candidates and luckily I am one of them.

Negotiation Details

I did not negotiate with the interviewer as the package is pre-fixed.
And for the advice, if its your first offer never focus on the salary package instead focus on your role and what work you will be doing while working with that company.
