I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services in Nov 2013
Interview
I was referred by an former employee of TCS.
It was fro Production Support Role and they had scheduled it for 40+ positions.
On basis of skillsets, they had separated the whole lot of candidates and they started the process.
2 technical rounds with varied questions on unix / shell / perl etc along with grilling into depths of SQL.
They even asked us about performance tuning.
Last round was formal HR round with no negotiation of salary.
They suggested us to ask few questions if any regarding TCS when I asked about work culture and benefits.
HR then proposed salary structure and to which there was no negotiation as salary structure is fixed in TCS and it never changes.
After that HR congratulated me for being part of TCS and said that rest of formalities will be send via mail.
