I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capgemini (New York, NY) in Jul 2010
Interview
1 HR Screen followed by a managing director phone interview. Afterwards, 1 director and 1 sr. manager in person interview in the office. MD interview was more for culture fit and was a breeze. Sr. Manager interview was a case study and more around general knowledge on IT processes such as ITIL, SDLC etc.
I couldn't remember the ITIL process names and was not given an offer. Make sure to memorize.
3 rounds. First round was on industry knowledge. Second round was detailed where they checked my skills on preparation ppt. Third was were I was given case study based on which I prepared deck and gave presentation
