I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient in Apr 2017
Interview
1st there is a screening call, which is rescheduled multiple times, then there is an assignment which has to be completed immediately regardless of your current work schedule if not you will be tormented by the HR team like credit card/personal loan offer calls, post this there will be a telephonic interview, which is again rescheduled multiple times, however they will ask you to solve a code problem while on the call and if it takes longer they do give you some more time, but once you complete it and submit it, there is no response. Silence is golden. You get an automated email from Sapient saying thank you and when you try to contact the HR personnel who tormented your life for over 2 weeks will not respond either. I think all companies should focus on maintaining a work culture inside and outside their business.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient (Boston, MA) in Nov 2015
Interview
After the initial phone interview, face to face interviews was scheduled with 4 Sapientists: Sr. Managers, Directors, and the hiring Director. There was a lot of waiting around due to emergencies and a test was given. It was unrealistic to finish the test in one hour: design an eCommerce solution.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient
Interview
Applied through their dice profile. Got a call back after 2 weeks. After initial HR screening, there was a in depth 30 minute technical interview (though the role is Technical manager/Architect) as if it is for a developer.
Called for in person interview. First hour is to architect a solution for a problem. I was given one hour to do and another an hour for review of the solution that is proposed. I liked this part - you are in a room with 4 white boards on all walls and we are asked to provide logical/physical architecture, project plan and identify risks.
