They contact me by phone for a Junior developer position. I asked them what programming languages should know before the interview but they didn't said much. Only said that this is a general interview.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bhubaneshwar) in Sep 2014
Interview
I got through an off campus interview process. Initially there was an aptitude round. After clearing I got through the technical and HR interview round.
Technical round consists of basic technical questions. They really gives stress on your concept. Coding questions will be there and you have to write code snippet on pen and paper They also asks about final year project.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HCLTech (Redmond, WA) in Jun 2017
Interview
If you have real-world professional web development experience and did not recently graduate with a bunch of programming knowledge from college that you will never use, I wouldn't bother with this interview process. Don't waste your Saturday. I ended up just walking out to go home and work on my current ASP.NET MVC project.
I was told there would be a .NET/C# exam by one of their recruiters. Instead, it was one of those pointless exams asking old college questions about contiguous integers, and pouring different amounts of liquid from various jars to reach the desired amount. I'm surprised that they didn't ask me why manhole covers are round. Apparently they think they are Google. As soon as I saw the test, I knew it was a joke. If you want to see how "creative" I am, look at the work I have produced professionally and ask me questions about those projects.
Red flags I ignored: 1. They wouldn't even work with my salary requirements. 2. Saturday interview. 3. Bad reviews from current/former employees.
If you recently graduated college and have no professional coding/engineering experience, this might be right for you to get your foot in the door, but I would be wary, the employee reviews are still bad.
