I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Pune) in June 2010
Interview
Hello,
I have given interview at IBM. Initial round was telephonic and interviewer asked me few basic question that every 2 yr experienced would know . Those question were very easy. Once I cleared that they asked me to appear for second round in Pune. I went to a hotel where interviews were being conducted. After waiting for 5 hrs, finally they called me in.
Interviewer was BDO ( or Director). He asked me few questions on datawarehouse and transactional database. Gave me few scenario based questions. Asked about my ongoing project. Finally asked , how much salary you would expect.
