Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Atos-Syntel (Phoenix, AZ) in Nov 2014
Interview
Interview took place over two stages. First interview was more about background history. Simple questions about stuff from resume and explanations about why I was looking to get into the industry.
Second interview got bungled several times as the interviewer forgot that he had to do it. It was with a lead programmer. Questions were technical in nature but not difficult ones. Was hard to understand the interviewer's heavy Indian accent which cause some confusion and wasted 8 minutes of time trying to come to a mutual understanding of an answer to a question.
The process was not hard at all, it was in fact too easy. It also had nothing to do with the position I was being hired for. He talked about Java, and only Java. The position was for COBOL which is a much lower language. Interview should have asked more generic questions about programming.
Interviewer seemed to know the subject matter well though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewer asked about a feature in a Java app I wrote for a college project and then asked me various questions about alternative ways I could have accomplished that same functionality. Then asked what if a client wanted something changed.
As I joined as a fresher, there were 2 rounds viz aptitude test & Personal Interview.
Aptitude test was challenging. however if one prepares well, it should be straight forward to crack it.

Question 1
It was a personal interview & all the Qs were around acads, future aspiration, area of interest & technology related.
Interviewer was friendly... It went on smoothly and it boosted my confidence level. only one interviewer. Both hr and technical together. Less technical questions. Hr round was more. Overall good experience.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Atos-Syntel (Pune)
Interview
there are mostly four rounds. Aptitude test, GD, Technical interview, HR interview.
First the aptitude test happens, then that results comes. Once done with that, you are called to the global development center for the further rounds. GD is the first round there in which mostly the screening happens. Then you proceed to technical round which is basically on java C C++ SQL. I was asked to write a java code and a C++ code. After you clear that, final is HR round which is easy and if you reach that you are mostly cleared and passed the interview.
