I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Mediaocean (Pune) in May 2016
Interview
Are they serious , they have like too many rounds of interview. Do they feel they are Google or Microsoft. Let me tell you the interview process
1) Aptitude Test (20 Min)
2) Psychometric Test (20 Min)
3) TECHNICAL CODING TEST (2 Hours)no proper systems in place
4) Technical Interview (1 Hour) they do not even know .Net
5) Managerial Interview
6) Director Interview+ HR (45 Min) "What you are expecting is fine, but what me might offer would be slightly less" hahaha.. :)
7) Australian round of interview (30 Min)
Plus horrible reviews from people about the company and they think we should join them. Why ??
The recruiter and the receptionist helped and made sure that we had everything at all given time, they regularly asked for coffee or water, just to keep me pepped up during the test the recruiter came and said that i should have coffee as they have really good one, she was really concerned about me as the process was taking too much time , she offered lunch as well.
I did get the offer in 2 days but did not join because of the negative reviews.I am giving an average review only because of the Recruiter and Receptionist. Cheers!! for their engagement with candidates

Interview
Diffult interview to crack. There are so many rounds right from Aptitude test, psyachomatric test , technical exam and then Technical interview , Managerial round and then HR round. But very rich experience you will get once you go thru all these rounds. Its nice interaction with each round and you will be feel very satisfied once you clear all of them :-).

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mediaocean (Pune) in Jun 2014
Interview
3 Technical + 1 Director + 1 HR Director = 5 Rounds
3 technical rounds were mainly on Java, Design Patterns, Spring, Hibernate, Databases. All the 3 times, interviewers were not in time, and I had to reschedule the interview. Technical questions were mainly on following
Java - HashMap, ConcurrentHashMap, Autoboxing, annotation
Spring - Dependency Injection, Bean Life cycle, AOP, MVC
Hibernate - Inheritance, Object States, Transaction Management.
REST Service - Constrains, Design.
Design Pattern - Strategy
Data Structures / Algorithms - Time complexity discussion on some problems.
Database - Trigger, Stored Procedures etc.
The feedback of the technical discussions was positive.
The discussions with the director and the HR director consisted of following things
1) After 12th (i.e. 2002), why you did not try for BCA?
2) Why did you do Food Engineering (2002-2006)? How did you get admission in Food Engineering (in 2002)?
3) Why do you have pass class in Food Engineering (in 2006)?
The HR director commented, "The pass class in Food engineering is notable thing."
4) Were you job less after food engineering (in 2006)?
5) In which company you were placed after Food Engineering (in 2006)?
6) Why do you have 58% in MCA (2010)? Why is it less?
7) Since you switched companies (very small start-ups) for instability reason, don't you check the company before joining?
8) What is you expected CTC? Will you bargain with Mediaocean if we did not give your expected package?
Finally the HR director comment, "Mediaocean does not bargain."
I am not sure how the questions asked in 4th and 5th round are related to the JAVA profile.
My candidature was put on hold without any reason.
