Interviewed Dec 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 weeks)
I was called for the interview for the position of Software Engineer. First I received the call for direct face to face interview. They called me to Bangalore. In the first round I waited almost 4 Hrs for my interview and also the interview happened as a formality to say that Interviewer who was supposed to take your interview is not present. After all this they even did not said sorry to me and their behavior was very rude.
They promised me to reimburse the travel cost but after the interview they told me to come for the second round.
In the second round finally the interview took place and two interviewer came and started asking me about my past experience without introducing themselves. It seems to me that they were in big hurry and I was wasting there time.
After asking some basic technical question about my current work, they started asking me some basic programming questions of which I answered around 60% of them.
The interview was kind of mixed experience. After the interview I was told that HR will contact you for the followup.
I did not get any response after 2 weeks from the HR. So I assumed that I did not get through. So I tried sending mails to HR for my travel reimbursement (as I was told that I will get the reimbursement ). After that got my all mailed bounced back to me again. Finally I came to know that my e-mail was blocked by the receiver.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in New Delhi (India) (took a day)
Most people had to take a written test, but I was not asked to take one. The interview consisted of one technical round with the DGM. It was more of a general discussion about the type of work I have been doing and what I would be interested in. There were a few questions related to multiple inheritance and singleton Design Pattern. Based on that, I was through.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Athens (Greece) (took 2+ weeks)
Head Hunters called me to arrange an interview asap. I passed the first screening; after 2-3 days i had the interview with Korean Manager. He was to the point: "Do you know how to do this type of analysis?", "Do you know excel, ppt and insights generation?". Not much about my previous experience. His english was hard to understand as I was not familiar with ..Korean-English. Do not be afraid to ask the interviewer to repeat the question. After 30mins, he gave me a presentation to prepare within 6days, related to analytics and market sensing. I sent it back after 6 days, as agreed; Sunday 10am, and 10:15am I received his mail back, calling me for final interview. The final interview was actually the job offer. Salary wise it could be better but i could not risk losing the job. If I could turn back time I would have asked for better salary as 2 years later I'm in the same salary bracket, while being responsible for 2 departments (not 1, that i was meant to be hired for).
