Interviewed Jan 2010 in Chennai (India) (took 4+ weeks)

It all started with a confusion, where my CV was sent to other team and they called me and asked questions on other skill set which I don't have. But the person who took the interview understood this and sent my CV internally to appropriate team. I got another call after a week and cleared it with flying colors.
