4 rounds of Interview. 2 Technical and 1 managerial. Final HR discussion. There will one online assessment too. Interview process was smooth and took 3 weeks to complete the process.

I started interview in May, 2012 first week. I live in US and the job was in Bangalore. The first interview was scheduled but did not take place on that day. Was rescheduled. First interview covered whole range including Java (algorithms , internal hash implementation, Btree, threads). Next went into Oracle/DB questions such as query optimization. Second interview by Phone in mid-June. This was more of application architecture like how do dynamically send updates for millions of users.. Next, they took a month to call me to California for a face-to-face. This was sometime in early August. Five tech people interviewed. Two asked me to write code. Third interviewer was very distracted, took phone calls in between. Asked questions of internal Java implementations of equals, hash. Talked about caching. Fourth interview was hardest. I think I flunked here. Talked about writing algorithms. Fifth was writing word processor. They came back to me September with negative feedback. Took too long to decide. Company very slow in decision process. It also took enormous time to get reimbursed for interview expenses. However, the interviews very challenging and interesting
