I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CA Technologies (Hyderābād) in Sep 2016
Interview
HR scheduled a F2F interview , First round senior guy from the team took first round . Asked really great questions on Java Collections . Apparently he gets an escalation call and sends a different guy who told again he will start from scratch . He tells me even i am from your place "Berhampur" . It shocked me . Deep inside i knew this guy is going to play some bad game. He asked me to write singleton class and said very good. Next he asks if Java is call by value /call by reference . Next he asks what is a schema . I answered all the questions. Good Lord knows what went wrong they decided to drop me and said you may go now .
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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
general discussion about mathematics, computer science etc.
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.
