I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Emerson (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
It is a one round interview.Moderate technical questions were asked encompassing the CV skills.Interviewer was supportive and positive.At last we discussed for what work I needed to do and what work I like to do within it.The rounds increases depending upon whether they have sparse or steep requirement.It can go even up to 4 rounds but the average will be of 2 rounds.
I applied online. I interviewed at Emerson (Elyria, OH)
Interview
Hiring manager selects resumes which then gets screened by HR in 30min call. If passes you go on to 30 min technical round with a director level person. If you pass that, another HR screening with local and a board interview with directors.
One of the worst interviewers ive ever encountered. The interviewer was very arrogant and went through a list of questions like a drill sergeant. The questions were redundant and found it disrespectful that for the majority of the interview it was them asking me questions. They did not leave me more than 2 minutes to ask them questions at the end of the interview.
