I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HCLTech (Chennai) in Jan 2026
Interview
Had a detailed discussion about my project with the tools I used, how I used them. By listening, everything seems to be satisfied. I answered all questions in detail, but after that, no reply. Not even responding back whether I got selected or not. Even if it's not selecting, I am fine, but there is no proper communication.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Detailed description and workflow of how envelopes are used in my project.
It was an hackathon but the invigilator know nothing about data science. They were data analyst and couldnt understand what I am explaining so at the end just asked make graphs on dashboard
I attended one round of panel interview with a data scientist and a data engineer. Overall, the process was pleasant and well-organised. The interview mainly covered ML models, core concepts, and an in-depth discussion of my projects.
The recruiter kept messaging if i am available for an interview and never follow through. Reached out me multiple times on different occations to leave ghosted. Felt there is no point in me following up again
