HONEYWELL-matchng careers for everybody

The fiasco happened on may 23rd....
I really dint want a post on taht...

but then my first tryst with
corporate india was too big an event for me to
let it pass..

so i hav given sufficient time for the
wounds to heal...cud hav come out
with this post a coupla days early,
but i dint want to add insult to my
own injury........

Chances honeywell wil not b coming to campus..
so what u read here,mite jus end up with zilch
practical value...

neways,if hwell is coming to ur campus,u wil
get to see nice lill hoardings that talk abt
the diff career prospects for diff kinds of ppl...
dont believe a word....honeywell has only
one kind of job, the job requires a dozen skils,
i despise.....

in the PPT u wil hear a lot abt honeywell.
global leaders in aviation blah blah....in fact
the ppt talked abt sachin,vish anand,leander peas...
the ppt talked abt an engineer working with hwell
in the same breadth as sachin playing cricket....
he said an engineer takes to hwell like a fish to water.
I hope atleast a few innocent souls in the audi believed
what he said,i certainly didnot.

then came the real shocker....
the test had 3 sections
AT(20 quant+10 logical)-30 mins
c(30 qns)-15 mins
tech(60 qns)-50 mins

the mphasis was clearly on technical aspects...
now if smebdy did the mistake of clearing the written round,
he has to endure 2 tech interviews n a HR interview.
n oh,i hav ignored the gd...

quant was pretty decent...logical qns were straight out of
barrons gre..but 30 mins was too short a time.with no negatives,
there was no differentiator...next up,was the c interview,
i wil refrain frm saying nethng abt this.there were ppl
who maxed the c paper.n there were ppl who were absolutely
flummoxed..

the next hurdle was the tech section..60 qns frm 5 diff areas.
4 areas had ten qns each n 1 sec had 20 qns..for ece microprocessor
was the 20 qn subject.for cse ,data structures git its share of 20.
a few qns were real sitters, there were a few blinders
as welll..it was supposed to be for 50 mins..but most of us
were meandering outside after 20 mins...its upto u to decide,
if the 30 min saved ,was due to our ingenuousness r utter stupidity..

A few ppl actually cleared the written test .
then came the next shock, gd was not used to eliminate ppl..
the no. of ppl eliminated in the gd cud be counted with the
fingers of one hand...

the AT results had a lot of shock n surprise element..
nearly 60% of the ppl who cleared were frm ECE n CSE..
hwel dint touch the it dept even with the help
of a bargepole....in an utopian world somebody wud hav
met with the hwell team n asked for reasons...but this is...

the process was so gruesome, after a while nobody
knew anythng..nobody was sure ,who was stil part of the
process n who got kicked out at whch point...

HWEll did manage to pick a few ppl..
hats off them..
but nobody really is jealous,
ppl pity those poor souls

TCS is comin down on june 2,am sure
it wil b more xciting..
