I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at HCLTech in Apr 2017
Interview
I was told it's a scheduled interview but it was walk in. Around 500 candidates were appeared for interview. There was no proper arrangement for candidates.
I reached the venue around 11 am. My WRITTEN test conducted at 02:00pm which had 5 programs/algo and 15 subjective questions. All these should be completed in 1 hour. Due to time constraints it wasn't possible to write program hence most of us mentioned the steps.
Around 05:00 pm, I was called for face to face round which interviewer rejected to conduct interview because I had WRITTEN steps instead of programs. I insisted to continue the interview to check My knowledge which was declined mentioning client reason.
I waited for 6 hrs just to hear that we cannot conduct your interview as you didn't write programs when there was mentioned as programs/algo.
No proper seating arrangement.
No food arrangement most of the candidates did not have their lunch and I was one of them.
No proper management to handle candidates.
Many candidates left without interviewing.
