Lots of math problems. And “if stranded on an island how would you...” questions, were asked to my friend.

Any idea why they have math problems for talent / HR consulting? Would have expected more soft skills stuff.

Attended multiple first rounds for mphasis(full time - Texas location). But still I didn’t hear any feedbacks from any of the interview panels/consultancy companies. Seems like they are conducting interviews for name sake and letting us to get wait for the results (for more than a month)
Seriously! positions are available? or I don’t know what’s happening around me. It’s frustrating!

What’s the hiring process of Mphasis?
