I applied online. I interviewed at TCS (Bangalore Rural) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of three rounds. The first round was an HR screening where they discussed my background and experience with SQL and Power BI dashboards. The second round was a technical interview focusing on SQL queries, joins, aggregations, and data modeling concepts. They also asked about building dashboards in Power BI and the business insights derived from them. The final round was a discussion with the hiring manager about problem solving, communication skills, and previous analytics projects.

Question 1
How would you calculate the total sales per customer using SQL and explain how you would visualize the results in a Power BI dashboard?
It was intermediate and technical test. I passed the interview but did not take the offer. The screening process was easy and the last interview with the manager was a bit lengthy.

Interview
I recently attended an interview for TCS, and the process was quite structured and professional. It began with an initial HR screening over the phone, where I was asked about my background, experience, and why I was interested in the role. After clearing that round, I was invited to a technical interview where I had to solve a few scenario-based questions related to the job. I shared a detailed example, highlighting my problem-solving and teamwork skills. The final round was with a panel who asked about my approach to teamwork and how I adapt to changing situations. While I wasn’t selected this time, I appreciated the structured process and the opportunity to learn from it.
