I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Nov 2011
Interview
The complete hiring process involved 3 interviews (two technical and a salary negotiation, all telephonic).
although there were extended periods of no communication from the hiring team, which were infuriating at times.
The technical interview were fairly bookish, and the interviewer mostly asked me questions which were right of the book, nothing difficult.
