I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Vellore) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process was done very smoothly, There were 5 rounds in total, the first being aptitude and logical, the second one is coding round, the third and fourth are the technical interview and the final round is the HR interview. The first two rounds were kept in the college as an online test. It was quite easy if you have a good grip over aptitude and good knowledge on c and cpp.
The first technical interview was based mainly on your coding knowledge.
the second was based on the logics which you use. the logic needs to be efficient. If you give a correct answer but the logic is not that good can lead you to trouble.
The coding test can be done in any language you are comfortable with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Few Programming questions
Logical Questions
the questions which they ask are completely new and random. I have searched the questions after I came home and didn't find any such questions over the internet
It went smooth, 2 OA, 1 HR Call, 1 Technical Call, 1 Manager Call. All went well, they ask based on your title and field. SO get prepared for what you are applying for like which position you know.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Düsseldorf)
Interview
Getting an invitation for a phone interview was very unexpected for me given that my CV is not linear. The interviewer was incredibly disrespectful. I was shocked about how aggressively she talked to me. I have never experienced something like that. She was treating me like I did something wrong or like she was trying to set me up for failure? She said to me if the interview goes well you will hear from us otherwise you won’t. So not even a rejection mail.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies
Interview
The technical interviewers were very professional and friendly, but the final HR interview was the worst HR experience I have ever had and showed a huge culture mismatch. It was borderline rude and felt like a one-sided interview rather than me also getting to know the company better. For example, she was really shocked that I asked about what she liked and felt could be improved at the company, said that it was a "strange" question, and that since she was the one interviewing me, she cannot provide any judgements about the company to the candidate. She also declined to share their salary range, repeatedly emphasizing that as the candidate, I should not be asking that and should just tell her my current/expectation. She even directly asked for the minimum I would accept.
I'm not sure if this is common at the company but candidates deserve more respect.
