I had an early phone interview with about 3 people. It was very hard to understand them through their accents. The entire interview they kept interrupting me with "Yea yea yea". I don't know if it's a culture thing, but I did not appreciate it.
Me: "Good morning"
THem: "yea yea"
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tech Mahindra in Sep 2014
Interview
1ST ROUND-- First we had an aptitude test. It was a 80 minute paper with 180 questions. Out of this 80 were of aptitude and 100 were from English. These were further divided into 8-9 sections i.e. aptitude, logical,verbal,non verbal, passage reading etc. The question were not very hard but TIME MANAGEMENT was very important. There was a cut off for each section.
Once the paper was over, we got the results at once on our computer screens.
