I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Mississauga, ON) in Apr 2014
Interview
I submitted my resume at an on campus career expo. I was contacted about 2 weeks after that. They were hiring for junior software engineers. I am an electrical engineer so this position would not have been totally in my comfort zone but since the HR said the have a 2 months training I taught that might work.
There were 3 interviewers, 1 HR and 2 Technical interviewers. there was a 15 minute HR interview followed by a 45 minute technical interview. They did not ask me to code but ask all sorts of questions, hard and simple ones about C, C++, Java, HTML5, Java script, network etc...
Sample questions:
* whats the difference between FTP and SFTP?
* explain the differences in detail between C, C++ and JAVA.
* If C++ is OOP then why do we need pointers?
* What is encapsulation?
* what is polymorphism?
* what is abstraction?
* Array vs linked list?
* etc...

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Chennai) in Jul 2026
Interview
The interview was comparatively easy. Most of the questions were basic and directly related to the topics mentioned on the resume. The interviewer focused on verifying whether the candidate genuinely understood the technologies and projects they had listed, rather than asking advanced or unexpected questions. They asked fundamental questions such as explaining projects, the technologies used, design decisions, basic programming concepts, and core computer science subjects relevant to the resume. There were very few trick questions. If you have a clear understanding of everything you've included on your resume and can explain it confidently with examples, you should be well prepared. The key is to avoid listing skills or technologies that you cannot explain in detail, because the interviewer may ask follow-up questions on any item mentioned in your resume.
