EXPERIENCE AT MAQ PLACEMENT:
MAQ was the third company which came to our campus after Commvault and capital IQ. Capital IQ i couldnt make it to the last round.
Well most of them will have a doubt whether to take up the company or not... Well lets c.. Read on :D :P
The day started with a Pre-Placement Talk by VISHAL, MD of MAQ software,hyd about their company. In that presentation he explained about the work which we would be doing there, schedules, pay etc. He talked about the technologies like windows azure, sharepoint, silverlight etc which we would be learning and working. He kind of scared us a bit about the load that would be on us, strictness of the work, expectations from us etc which made all of us to think if it was a good decision to go on with the selection process or not. they dont have cab facilities. Since it was the 3rd company and none of us got a job by then we all decided to go on with the selection process and if selected thought of keeping it as an option.
Then started the written test which had 2 sections general aptitude and technical aptitude(c/cpp) questions. This round was pretty easy. Next immediately without any eliminations we had an algorithm round which had two questions one of which was sorting the file. After an hour or so the results were out and 16 of us were shortlisted for the interviews. For me personally MAQ interviews were the toughest. They asked me to write many optimized codes, puzzles, many reasoning questions, few mathematical proofs(this screwed me off) , database questions, unix based logical questions(tough) etc.. So all in all they covered all the subjects and they tested me on every domain. Dont be nervous, you can answer them if you are good at basics. After the first tech round they shortlisted 8 of us and after the second tech round 6 of us were shortlisted. The day ended finally with the HR scheduled the next week at the MAQ office,HITEC CITY.
The day at MAQ office: Office infrastructure was pretty good to look at. We were asked to sit in the visiting room. We were all a bit nervous :P . The md vishal was taking our HR. HR round was pretty casual asking our family background, our interests, some questions asked looking at our resume. I felt he was looking at our sharpness, confidence, time we took to answer etc. One by one all the 6 of us had the HR round done and after about 15 mins results were out . 4 of us were selected- me, sneha, vinay and srinivas as software engineers.
Matter of advice: If you are fine working for long hours(even till night 11) and adjust to the work pressure only then apply. you will have many companies coming up for the selection process. So chill :)
