So, there were quite a few rounds. First, I did this online test, like an aptitude and technical thing, covering SQL, some analytical reasoning, and DSA stuff with arrays. If you passed that, you went on to a technical interview where they asked me about my final year project, database stuff, and how I approach problems. The last part was just a chat with HR about how well I communicate and if I'd be a good fit.

Behavioral Technical

I was contacted by a Staffing Agency, they reviewed my profile and then forwarded it to Hitachi Vantara. I got approved to speak directly with Hitachi's HR, and had a 1-hour interview. The interview itself seemed neither particularly good nor bad; the interviewer was very nice and listened carefully. I waited about 7 business days for feedback, then contacted the Staffing Agency again. They apologized and said they forgot to mention that Hitachi had changed the job requirements mid-process, so I no longer qualified. They wished me good luck.

  • Could you explain your interest in Hitachi Vantara?
