I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pearson (Bengaluru) in Mar 2011
Interview
Interview consists of a written language test and its review. No more rounds for fresher. Followed by an interview with the Manager and HR phone round. No testing for particular skills or any aptitiude test. Very easy to clear as they employ freshers considering them to be as cheap labours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None. Expected to write an essay ob the topics given, which is a child's play.
Phone interview with two team members followed by in person interview on site with manager that was about half an hour. It was a pretty standard interview and it was held at a university campus.
I was contacted for an interview and set one up for the upcoming Friday. I got no email confirmation back regarding the interview date. Friday morning, I received an email saying the availability had changed... even though I had never gotten a confirmation on the availability. We reschedule for 2:30 pm....... not sure if it was the same day or the following Friday, but I was prepared anyway. I got a call on Monday... not even on a "Friday" we agreed to. I received a follow up email with "per our emails" even-though Monday was never mentioned. The recruiter also asked for a new date to call. I point out that Monday was never discussed and send a new time for Wednesday. She replies and then again asks when I am free.... although I just told her Wednesday. Terrible experience. I cancelled everything.
It was long and a bit tedious. There were multiple rounds of interviews and long stretches between interviews so I was never totally sure if they were still interested or not.
