"It was a very plain/non-stress interview. I had to write an essay on mobile phones pre-interview. There were two panelists from the ad com.

Initially there were questions on working in US and questions asking me to fit an american vs. Indian employee as a Superior/Peer/Sub-ordinate. I was then asked to do a SWOT analysis of Infosys. This went on for 20 mins or so. I was then asked about the standard of new employees in the company. After this I was asked to compare offshore vs. onsite roles and was asked on my further career progression path in my company. I was asked to list two non-professional goals. Then they asked if I had any questions.

I asked about exchange programs in ISB(WGCP in particular) and they explained the bidding process at ISB. I then asked why Google is not in the list of recruiters. They said Google didn't come last year but came for both years before that.

I was then asked if it was my dream company and I was asked to reason it. I had some prepared stuff to talk about here. Then I thanked ISB for the opportunity given to interview with them.Overall I had no stellar moments in the interview and my answers were very bland . Post-interview I get a feeling that they were probably not interested in me. "
