I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tech Mahindra in Jul 2013
Interview
I got a call directly from technical person for interview as it was through internal referral. I had 2 technical rounds of interview. There was 1 week gap between two interviews. First interview was about all basics like, type of vtp messages, flavours of stp, working of mst, ospf - virtual links, why area 0 in backbone of ospf, eigrp sia timers and working, BGP. Second round questions were around actual role they are expecting, like - ebgp-multihop, next-hop-self, etherchannel prerequisites. I was expecting positive response from company's HR but didn't received any feedback even after waiting for 15 days after second round completion. So I called HR and asked about my status, she said I was rejected since she could not find my name under shortlisted candidates. I was totally disappointed and asked about exact rejection reason as in technical or something else, but it seemed like HR didn't bothered to check my profile and simply said that I am not shortlisted. " I think its duty of HR to convey results of interview rounds even if candidate is rejected"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Since JD was around Clear IP MPLS and BGP, BGP questions asked were tough. For eg. Two customers in AS 1 connected to different PEs, will they be able to exchange routes through MPLS cloud. If no, why not and how would you apply BGP to allow so.
