I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HCL (Bengaluru) in Feb 2025
Interview
I applied through naukri and recieved a call from HR. I clearly told him about my internship experience. 1st round was coding which I cleared. Next they called for 2nd round on a different day.
While reaching the location they completely changed their req candidate....
What a disappointment.... They want people who have industrial experience. After the first round also they called and gave me a call letter. If they wanted an exp candidate they would have said so before itself.... I literally wasted my money time energy. Worst management.
During the interview I also met few people who recieved a call saying it is a walkin.... HCL hr may think everybody has free time like him/her. Worst company ever.
