I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Infosys (Bengaluru) in Oct 2015
Interview
The overall process was very swift. I was approached by a recruitment agency who promptly scheduled an interview at the wonderful Bangalore campus on a Saturday. The first round was a face to face technical discussion with a panel comprising two Architects (both of them had less experience than me). It was a very basic discussion and both the interviewers were not very sure about what to ask since I had much more experience than them. After half an hour there was a second telephonic discussion with the Delivery Manager who enquired about my overall experience and asked few standard behavioural questions. Finally there was the HR round which basically was about fixing the salary. They were not ready to offer what I was asking and the lady told she will need couple of days before the releasing their final offer and I left for the day. The overall process took less than 3 hours and was pretty smooth. The offer was released after 2-3 days. It was less than what I expected and I declined. However after 3 months I wanted to get out of my previous company badly and reached out to Infosys to enquire about the earlier offer. They told the old offer still stands and I decided to join the company after serving the due notice period. It seems at Infosys an offer letter is generally valid for 6 months :-)
