I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Patni Computer Systems in Aug 2010
Interview
I had a Phone and 1-1 interview. Phone interview was basically about skills used in my project and basic technical questions about the technologies mentioned in my resume. If you are good with ur basics, u wil be able to clear the phone screen. 1-1 is simpler than phone. it was interview with the clients. Basically abt the projects and nothing in detail abt technology. This is again for this particular client position I was interviwed for. It might vary for other client positions. Not sure.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked questions related to technology that was mentioned in my resume but not required for tht position. that was surprising.
Very smooth and done over the weekend. I had to wait till pretty late but everyone was nice. Questions were mostly regarding databases although a few questions were related to other areas.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Patni Computer Systems
Interview
There is an initial aptitude test followed by an interview. They have a good balance of technical and behavioral questions. They make the candidate feel very comfortable. They have a very fair process
