I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Vāranāsi) in Jan 2025
Interview
First there was a hackathon where you had to perform time series analysis and NLP. You also had to load the dataset using SQL. It was done in groups of 4-5 and after that there was 1 on 1 interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The question were about your approach on the hackathon problem statement and questions about whatever model you used and why
It was an hackathon but the invigilator know nothing about data science. They were data analyst and couldnt understand what I am explaining so at the end just asked make graphs on dashboard
I attended one round of panel interview with a data scientist and a data engineer. Overall, the process was pleasant and well-organised. The interview mainly covered ML models, core concepts, and an in-depth discussion of my projects.
The recruiter kept messaging if i am available for an interview and never follow through. Reached out me multiple times on different occations to leave ghosted. Felt there is no point in me following up again
