I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Baker Hughes (Mumbai) in May 2018
Interview
Through Job Portals and LinkedIn. I was invited to onsite discussion. You would be given a visitor entry card. The Evaluators were friendly initially but they would roast you if the find about your weakness.
I had gone through 2 rounds of interview process, screening call with HR and one technical interview. Technical interview was of average level, questions asked related to tech stack. Current roles and responsibilities etc.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Baker Hughes in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview was an initial screening with the talent acquisition team, and the time taken to setup an interview from there was really promising.
The interview was with the hiring manager and another colleague, which was relaxed. The interview was good, conversational and informative. No complaints here.
I was told I would hear back within 2 weeks, but was completely ghosted even after contacting the HM & talent acquisition directly.
