I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Infosys (Bridgeport, CT) in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied to the Systems Engineer position which I believe I found on indeed.com. A recruiter contacted me and asked if we could set up a webcam interview with a time that I wasn't entirely unavailable, but I would be at work. I replied asking if any other time was available, no reply was given. Instead I received an invite for the proposed time. I decided to work from home so I can accommodate the interview. Interview day comes, I call the number provided and I interrupt an already ongoing interview, I hang up and call back a few minutes later. The interview process starts and I respond to a few generic questions (tell us about yourself and your current role, day to day duties, etc). The interviewers ask me what shifts I would be available for, I tell them first shift and they reply saying first shift starts @ 6am. They then ask me if I'm familiar with call centers and how they function, I reply and then start to wonder which position I'm applying for. I kindly ask what position I'm applying for and they say it's for a Level 1 help desk/call center position. At this point I'm upset/dumb-founded and say that I was under the impression that the interview was for a Server Engineer position which I had originally applied for. They reply that no, it is for a call center position. I state that I would prefer not to take up any more of their time because I am not seeking an entry level position and we end up parting ways shortly thereafter. The entire process baffled me, I was upset that a large company such as Infosys did not do their due diligence and interview someone for a position they did not even apply to. I understand mistakes are made but it's frustrating.
The first round was aptitude. It was of medium level. Then HR round. He asked about my projects, ML concepts which I highlighted in my resume, the a lot of behavioural questions

The interview process was straightforward and highly accessible, focusing primarily on fundamental concepts. Candidates were asked basic Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) questions, requiring them to elaborate on core principles like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation without diving into complex technicalities.
It was quite basic and interactive. The panel are very much helpful for candidates to make them comfortable and the question are on point and easy to crack down for the role
