I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nomura (Mumbai) in Mar 2010
Interview
Initially I got 3 three telephonic calls which primarily focused on WinForms , C# fundamentals ranging from questions about ado.net , multi-threading , static keyword , oops , diff between abstract class and interfaces.
The level was tough.
After that I had a face to face technical panel interview which raised the bar for technical questions ranging from application domains , assembly probing , assembly redirection , reflection , garbage collection algorithm etc
