I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Smart Cube (Noida) in Jan 2011
Interview
It was spread across 4 rounds 1) excel based test 2) technical round with team leads; 3) discussion with the practice head and 4) HR round. The excel based test was very extensive and required the excel sheet to be as automated as possible. The technical round was very theoratical, as in, very bookish questions were asked for example how to compute financial ratios, three and five step Du-pont analysis, etc...The other two rounds were just personality/attitude check and salary negotiation, respectively.
