HCL

The first round is an online apti round with like 4 sections It was easy-medium After that a versant test was conducted The students who cleared the round 2 are asked to attend the technical interview followed by a simple hr interview.

First round with HCL is good and friendly. Client round was very bad and rude. Client decided not to select and asked unnecesary questions. Was rude. When I asked about project and kind of work, he refused to answer.

HR picked my resume through job portal and called me and asked about my job profile and experiance in required technology and also asked about ECTC after that she scheduled the teliphonic interview.

Role: AI Engineer | Rounds: 2 | Result: Round 1 cleared, Round 2 rejected Round 1 (cleared): TF-IDF, target sum coding problem, Python fundamentals. Straightforward. Round 2 (project deep-dive, rejected): Where is human-in-the-loop in a system you built — any system you built at the company? Walk me through your agentic system — explain the architecture and how it works If you had watermarked documents where the watermark comes through in the extracted text, how would you cleanly extract the data? How do your AI agents communicate with each other in your multi-agent system? How do you handle reliability — checkpointing, retries, failure recovery in your agentic pipeline? Explain your RAG architecture end to end How did you measure improvements in your system (tool selection accuracy, latency, manual review reduction)?
