Entrevista
Had applied online was shortlisted for the phone interview. There were 3 phone interviews:
1 st round : It is done to check if you fit the bill. It was simple Q and A with most question being about the education and some personal question. I cleared this round.
2nd round : Its a Managerial phone round. There were no technical question just a normal talk about your interest and was briefed about what the company was into.
3rd round: This was a technical round. Was grilled for close to 1 hr. Everything which is on your resume should be known. Was asked 9 questions and I answered 7 of those. Didn't think would clear the round as I though it wasn't convincing enough but was told I have cleared the round and was invited to there office for face to face round.
Had a total of 8 rounds in the office for 2 days:
1st round : Was with India head HR. Went well and he seemed to be impressed
2nd round : This was case study round where in I was asked 4 question on some image processing problem. Hadn't done image processing anytime before but was briefed about it and told that it was enough knowledge to solve the given problems. I could only solve 2 question and my other two answers were pretty close. Though not convinced they let me into the next round
3rd round : Its was a technical presentation. I was grilled by panel of close to 8 people for 2.5 hrs.
4th round: They asked me to re-do the 2 problems on image processing case study which I couldn't complete previously. I cleared this round as I was given few hints.
5th and 6th : It was telephonic conference with people in USA . It was a Behavioral and leadership round. I cleared both the rounds.
7th round : Was given a problem and asked to solve which had open solution. The question asked was "Estimate the number of petrol banks in Bangalore city".
I was taken back by the question and gave some dumb answers but after getting some clues I gave them solution which they said was the right one. As they where not completely convinced , decided to hold another round.
8th round: Again an open ended question : "Estimate the number of baby diaper used in India /day".
Though i gave them a descent solution but I was shabby . The intense pressure I was put under for 2 days had its toll on me as I cracked and wasn't confident enough. So was told I hadn't made it!

Pregunta 1
Estimate the number of baby diaper sued in India everday
Fair behavioral question and ask about relevant job experience. The overall process is smooth and the interviewer is easy going. Take some time to prepare for company related questions and you should be fine.
Interview with the Hiring manager was chill but he did not really ask anything about my background nor how I would fit the role.
Instead he asked me some brain teasers, which caught me off guard a little.
