I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (Hyderabad) in Jan 2008
Interview
Was selected as a campus hire. They kept an initial test that included c,c++ and aptitude. All the questions were very basic. Then they had one technical round one hr round and followed by one senior manager round. Technical round they mostly focused on the projects done during Btech.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you score very high in the test then the other rounds will go smoothly. That happened atleast with me,
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (Bengaluru) in Nov 2009
Interview
Pretty basic but professionally handled;
Made the candidate feel he was being taken fairly seriously
Evaluation of technical depth had much to be desired though
Unfortunately, there was complete disconnect between the interview requirement and the nature of work and job role
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Related to cloud computing (specifically, Amazon EC2 cloud) since Dell was not known (at that time period) to have done much work on the cloud.
