I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jun 2019
Interview
Sapient has saperate options for in person and remote interview and since I was bot available to visit the office, I have to undergo the latter one.
First round is a coding round, where you'll be shared a use case, which has to be solved in 3 hours and it will be evaluated based on junits, completeness, design patterns implemented and coding standards.
My second round was with one of the Architects which went on for around 2 hours and I was asked almost every question out there in "top 100 interview questions" for Java, spring hibernate, React and design patterns.
After this, since my ECTC was above what the company could pay, I had to decline further steps.

6 Technical with VP where he joined 20 mins late and then 30 mins interview where i was told it will be 15 mins. seems like they don't want to select may be due to budget so planned this interview. very weird.
They should value candidate's time and efforts.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient (Bengaluru) in May 2024
Interview
4 rounds
1st -> Telephonic Screening for 20-30 mins with the HR
2nd -> Technical round which was set for 1 hour , but extended for 2:30 hrs which was unprofessional. It was basically a question answer round rather than asking what we have worked on. He asked every possible topic you would have known in Java theory.
3rd -> The interviewer found that 2:30 hrs were less to know about a candidate, so they scheduled this round for 45 mins which extended till 1:45 mins. Again, bookish round, unprofessional interviewer.
4th -> They kept a client round as well for 45 mins, coz they couldn't decide whether they found 'the one'.
I get a mail that i have cleared all rounds and congratulated me. They asked to upload all docs.
Later when i asked for HR discussion, HR said that panelist were not aware that i was to be taken for L2 Job Title , they didn't even read the job profile for which they were hiring. They said I will be okay for L1, for which their hardly has any budget
So, no offer. The HR was good in the whole process, it was very poor attitude of the panel and bad communication throughout this process with Publicis Sapient.
Please clarify everything before you waste your 5-6 hours of interview.
