Placed in Schneider

August 17th, 2008

So guys, here is the news. Sorry for being late, I was having my day after getting into this company.

Rolling back to Thursday, the day on which Schneider came to our campus, lets start the story. I was too reluctant to sit in it at the beginning. Since I had my DWDM assignment from 10:30 to 11:30 I didnt feel like writing the test as I had not even attended the Pre-Placement talk.

The paper was really mind blowing, 70 questions total which consisted of 56 technical and 14 aptitude. The technical questions were really above the capability of normal computer science students, most of them unheard till date. A paper called Database was included and it looked that this company is in Database management. Only questions of OS and Algorithms such that we could think of giving a try. I didnt try aptitude much, now its a guess that I had just crossed the minimum cut-off.

The  first technical interview was as smooth as butter :D Being fully relaxed answers strike your mind at a better rate and that too perfectly. In some questions “Havn’t heard Mam!” , “Dont know” were my statement as nothing else could take its place. Second technical was something I never dreamt of! I couldn’t even understand half of the questions asked. :P  At that stage I was having a feeling of being kicked out.

The last round was HR ( I never expected to clear previous two), where I showed my real talent, don’t know how this talent came out all of the sudden since its my first HR interview. This maiden HR interview was better than all of the technical interviews I have given till date. I really think that the guy was impressed.

I got a job in Embedded Systems department of this Electric company. It has a two year bond which I have to sign during signing of the offer letter. This is completely a new branch for me and I hope to perform my best in the coming days.

    This questions is really very tough to answer. I wish to go in a company which sucks less.
    Saying frankly I want to work in a startup where I would be having more freedom. Initially I would have to get my blood sucked and then would think of joining some startup since at that time I would been having some work experience.

    Thanks T,
    I have experience working in the Corporate sector even before as an Intern at MS. People say that its a challenging and daunting task to be in this sector. Some even call it alluring, but from my experiences I can only say “Anything that shines is not gold”

  7. T Says:

    yup, so will you try to make it better or be the part of it ?

    best of luck in your ventures

    I cant say anything about joining. Its still a year left and I hope to have better options.
    Again, Schneider is not bad at all. Embedded Systems division is always challenging and interesting as I heard from seniors.
