I went to the HCL interview recently on 14th Feb 2015 in Pune Vimannagar IBIS hotel.
The contact persons from HCL were Anand/Raghav/Sarah
Please note the following key points
I was contacted by phone and told Noida is an job option but when I reached there I was told the only position available is for chennai for my skills, I had to spend 600 Rs. in cab to and fro. Apart from that I had to spend on food because I reached in the morning at 9AM but the interviews took whole day.
Complete mismanagement people were coming for certain skills for the interview from far off places and were told that for this technology now there are no vacancies.
The Interviewers were looking extremely tired, gloomy and one female boss who was leading who was extremely fat and mean looking was shouting at her sub-ordinates and berating her juniors. This shows the company culture.
I wasted entire day time and money and just attended the whole interview because I wanted to know what I will have to go through. Even if I got selected I was in no mood to go to chennai.
After waiting for a whole 4 hours my turn for interview came and the interviewer simply asked have you worked in MVC I said no, then he said write down the JQUERY code for populating a text field. I could not because that is not a field I have worked in, the next line of interviewer was you can go and HR will connect with you.
Interviewer was not interested in my experience, all he was looking for a particular piece of technology and if I would probably fit in his team or project. For this they wasted my entire day and this could have achieved more efficiently over the phone.
Now this shows the attitude of the employees, to have no regard for others, have no regard for others time, have no regard for the other person, be extremely rude, be extremely selfish and care only for yourself.
This shows the attitude of management who treat their employees like this and in turn employees treat others like this, I am glad I got this experience without having to waste any career time with these rude, loud mouthed, arrogant, selfish bosses of HCL. Thank You!
