      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCL (Bengaluru) in May 2017

      Interview

      Interview was conducted in may 2017, I reached at 09:30 am just before 30 minutes before interview schedule timing. For the 1st round we waited at least 3 hours. Finally it was turn for my skills. At 12:30 pm interview process was started. 5-6 Candidates were called for PA. After 1 hour interview panel decided to take coding test. At 2 pm got question paper after printing. Afterwards written test completed at 2:45PM. At 4pm they announced result, and they selected 10 candidates in 1st round. I was also in 10 candidates. Now we all waiting for 2nd round. After 30 minutes HR informed us that panel is not available for taking interview. So you all will get call on Monday for next round. But....... No call we got till next week. No reply on mail, Consultancy didn't specify reason. It's request to management that If you don't want to hire then Why you wasted our time?
