I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HCLTech in Apr 2025
Interview
Liaised with me via WhatsApp which was fine. Had initial interview with direct report for role. Was then contacted via WhatsApp asking if I was still interested in the role. Answered that I was. Then, was told a week later that there was a delay and was apologised to. The WhatsApp contact then removed their avatar / profile photo and I was sent a rejection email a few weeks after this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of questions relating to portfolio size and typical CS lifecycle.
The recruitment process began with an online assessment, followed by a full-day pool campus interview involving five colleges. The interview included multiple rounds such as technical, managerial, and HR, conducted sequentially. It was an intensive, day-long process held at the host campus with participants from various engineering backgrounds and institutions.
Interviews are pretty good here. Technical and managerial interviews are standard procedure which I went through. Technical interviews are intense and managerial interviews are based on how good knowledge you have on process part and behaviour towards work.
