I applied online. I interviewed at HCL (Bangalore Rural)
Interview
It's good, question will be only from resume. Prepare it well. You can clear easily if u prepare well. Prepare your older experience also. Be confident and do well. Be good on job description.
It was a very good process which included two rounds of technical interview and one round of HR Interview. I had 27 month of work you said that time and was having issues to negotiate the salary as they have a capping for giving salary for people less than three years.
