I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CA Technologies (Hyderābād) in Jan 2015
Interview
First round was telephonic where they asked basic technical questions, why do you want to move etc. Then there was a face-to-face technical interview on java technology, IBM websphere, SQL and data structures.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked in depth on Java Collections. How is a java collection implemented internally. They also asked a lot of questions on Java Threads and Websphere application server. They also asked a data structure question towards the end.
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.
