I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nokia (Bengaluru) in Feb 2008
Interview
One round of telephonic interview - where the role expectations were explained and my expectations were asked (including the salary expectations). Then the second round was technical + personal interview. In which after a few questions on projects that I have done in my earlier jobs they have presented me a few situations at work and asked me how I would react. I must say that the interviewer is a manager from Finland who was in India to setup the team. The Indian managers interviews could be different.
Single 1.5h teams call. HR, PM, and engineer on one call. A few generic HR questions, then a brief project description from PM. C++ position, many OOP questions, and three C++ tasks involving STL.

A successful interview is a two-way conversation, showcasing your skills while learning about the role and company. Be prepared, concise, and authentic. Highlight relevant experience, ask insightful questions, and demonstrate enthusiasm to leave a lasting impression.
