I applied in-person. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Aug 2017
Interview
It was a walk in and first time I was attending a walk in interview. More than 60 people and only 1 person available for taking interview. Worst interview process HCL is having. I reached office by 9 AM and left by 5 PM after completing 2 rounds. I was told that you have been selected and HR will call for further discussion. Next day i received mail from HR for submitting some documents and after that 3 weeks passed and no update.
Usually they recruit for projects where there will be 1 or 2 vacancies and around 100 people will attend interviews. I simply wasted my whole day.
Dont waste your time guys if it is a walk in interview. They wont even update you whether they are going forward.
The funny part is I again got a call from another HCL HR for another project. I simply said I am not interested.
“The Technical Lead hiring process consisted of five rounds, including three technical interviews. After successfully clearing all stages, the salary negotiation concluded positively, resulting in a mutually agreeable compensation package.
hr round and technical round with manager two rounds of interview . and then hr updates you if your selected or not. the calls occurs within one weeks time. and the hr enquires on current ctc and expected ctc. the hr gives you a clear statement of how the salary will be.

The process was an in-person, full-day interview at the HCL office. It began with a hackathon as a group of 5 people, where we designed and developed a complete end-to-end architecture for a delivery application. This was followed by a one-on-one technical interview. A few days later, the HR department reached out and offered me the job.
