I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HCLTech
Interview
I had attended walk in drive at HCL Pune office. There were 2 technical rounds. Sometime 2nd round will be technical cum managerial round but in my case both were technical followed by HR.
Had HR discussion and some negotiations. HR told me that she will send me an offer letter within 3-4 working days. But never received any. Rather after a month I have recieved call from consultant saying you were selected but your package expectations are high and was asking to negotiate. Decline their offer as they were offering 10-15℅ hike.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HCLTech (Hyderābād) in May 2026
Interview
Pretty normal. Just grind the core java and spring boot topics. Focus on most asked interview questions. Nothing special to be honest. Sound confident. Otherwise it might give bad impression. That is all there is to it.
Easy did not any different or difficult questions and one coding question as well which is just showing repeated alphabets and their count as well for the coding question.
That's all the interview i remember which is an easy interview
