I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MSCI (Mumbai) in Feb 2014
Interview
Was directly called by the company for this interview from job portal & on arrival was given a written test consisting of 11 questions which weren't basic at all. Questions included Multi-threading concepts (Thread pool executor), Data Structures, Oops design, primitive data type storage values, static classes tricky questions etc. The recruitment process is very bad because based on 50% score of this test they decide whether you are in or out which is highly unfair considering the no of questions. Even if you fail to answer one question your % gets reduced by approx 10 %. Could not clear the test because score was 5 & not > 5. But as far as i know once you are cleared they decide the no of interviews based on your score. For e.g. if u pass with 6 they will take 5 Technical interviews + HR, whereas if you pass with 10+ they will take only 1 interview. Don't know what this Rocket Science is !
Only good thing is they will complete the entire process in one day. So by the EOD you will get to know whether you are in or out.
