The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CA Technologies (Hyderābād) in Feb 2011
Interview
typical C++ interview. The first interview was technical. You can always predict C++ interview questions...so nothing new here. The interviewer was amazed that I knew what virtual inheritance is all about! The second interview was a "managerial" round. The manager shows up and asks if I liked doing maintenance and bug fixing. I said yes but it should only be one of my responsibilities. But they wanted someone who was 100% into maintenance, bug fixing and reverse engineering (don't be fooled by this word, it basically means "we have a lot of code but no documentation so you will have to figure out stuff all by your self.") One positive: the Hyderabad campus is a beauty, the facilities are top class and pay is good. If you are married and middle aged, this is the place to be!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you create a "final" or "leaf" class in C++
Screening/Interview was rather unorganized, but after the initial discussion it took some direction.
Despite the weird format at the beginning, the interviewer was professional and senior, so we had interesting technical discussion

4 rounds of interview = 3 technical interview and one managerial interview with VP

3. Databases
4. Manager + VP
Had two people in a coupe of rounds. It was in person
A phone interview with HR and for the on site 3 separate interviews; one with the managers and two other interviews for the technical questions. During the interview, some people on the panel were very rude and their behavior was completely unethical in a way I wanted to leave the interview!! Sometimes the interview itself reveals the company culture easily and I was lucky enough to notice that before it was too late.
