Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. Acudí a una entrevista en Verizon (Ithaca, NY) en oct 2013
Entrevista
They probably got my resume from my university career fair. Was contacted for a phone interview that was strictly behavioral - 30 minutes long. Then they immediately told me right after my interview that I was moved onto the next round. Told me to apply online to make the process official and then I was contacted for an oncampus interview. Was half technical and half behavioral - each section lasted about 30-40 minutes. Was contacted about 2-3 weeks after with an offer.

Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. El proceso tomó 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Verizon (Chennai) en ago 2025
Entrevista
270 students for OA. 99 students for in-person process (3 rounds).
Round 1, Group discussion. 10 students per group. My group's topic was "Global companies view India as a customer market. What are your thoughts on this?". Went pretty well, panelist had minimal interaction with us during the GD. I made sure to keep calm and not seem desperate to speak. If you speak only to seem active without actually contributing significant knowledge then that's a red flag.
Round 2. Technical interview. Every student had a different experience, The interviewers weren't following a fixed pattern. What worked for me was to know my resume and projects inside out. I deliberately spoke a lot about my project. Most of my time was occupied by project and internship discussion. After this interviewer asked me about DSA. Very very basic. Only concept based, Didn't have to code.
Round 3. HR Interview. Felt like a formality since it was a short conversation, Only about 10 minutes, Nothing they could evaluate me on. Just getting to know my personality maybe.
Notes: Interviews were definitely getting harder as the day progressed. Candidates who had interviews 2-3 hours after me had more difficult interviews and it really felt like they were trying to eliminate more candidates. You are lucky if you go first.
