Behavioral Technical
First, an HR person contacted me to schedule a phone interview. Someone called me, took notes, and then my application went into a black hole. The interviewer seemed to be from Canada, was a nice guy, and I felt like I answered all the questions correctly. After that, I heard nothing back. I sent multiple emails and left voicemails for the HR contact and the main manager, but I never got any feedback or response. It was totally rude. It's funny because I think it's a great job, but what's the problem? Call me back. Why play these games for professional positions? From what I saw, it seems like a bad place to work, with an incompetent HR person and messed up hiring practices.

I had a 1st round telephonic call that was about 10 mins long to discuss my current work and suitability for the role. After that, I was invited for a full day of interviews at the Spirent office in Bangalore. This involved 4 separate rounds: two technical interviews, one with the director, and a final one with the manager.
