I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hitachi Vantara (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2014
Interview
Applied online. HR emailed for my available time and called the next day promptly. She was very respectful and knows exactly what she is doing and for what project and role i ma being interviewed for. She explained every thing in detail about the company , got all the details from me ad set me up for phone interview.
The phone interview was pure technical in nature for my role and the interviewer exactly knows how to interview. He asked the right questions and concepts to check my breadth and depth for the role. He gave immediate feedback to me , as well as to the HR. The HR immediately called me and did setup a next round face to to face interview with one of the Vice President's in the nearby location.
The Vice President is very smart, well cultured and know etiquette. He greeted well, spoke to me very casually. I didn't even feel it was an interview. He did find out well about the cultural and managerial fit, communication skills and gave a green signal to the next round.
The next round is where they flew me in for another 2 rounds of interviews , one with the director and other with the Vice President. The Director was pretty smart too. He knows both the technology & management. He did interview both technical and software engineering project methodologies in detail. This was a little harder interview compared to the previous rounds as he kept asking lot of in depth questions including the variety of tools i have used, versions, different projects , technologies, cases, architectural designs...etc. The interview was supposed to last for 1 hour but it went beyond one and half hour while the other VP who has to interview me was waiting in the next room.
The last round is with the VP, pretty well mannered and respectful but intimidating. He checked various cultural and managerial aspects about consulting in general and Hitachi Consulting. I would still consider the whole process as pleasant , especially the way they treated me.
