Interviewed Jan 2011 in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) (took 4 days)
- Got e-mail from Sapient HR and i applied for the position
- She called me the next day and asked me about my project, exeperiance (30 minutes). During conversation I got to know that I probably do not have the required experiance. However, she told me that I should get interviewed
- After few days, I was asked to have an interview at their Gurgaon office
- The first round consisted of a Case Study wherein I was asked to write about the scope, assumptions, constraints, risks, staffing, testing strategy, etc (basically a QA Project Plan). The case study was for 75 minutes; however i took 90 minutes and no one really hurried me in completing it
- Then 1:1 interview happened. It went on for another 90 minutes. I was asked about almost everything related to the project plan and how I came up with that plan
- Once the round was over, the HR informed me that I cleared the technical round and there is another round which will happen some other time
- Although initially scheduled to be a 1:1 round, I managed to convince the HR to have the final management round over the telephone
- The telephonic round lasted about 45 minutes and again I was asked about my experiance and various real life scenarios were discussed.
Although the process went well all throughout, I was not offered the job due to lack of my experiance (in years).
