I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thales (Berlín) in Mar 2021
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and the interview process wqs scheduled swiftly I had 2 interviews with them. First was with recuriter and the manager which was very introductory and informal. 2nd was with the manager plus a few future team members where I got to chat with them directly to exchange information about expectations and job role (They didn't ask me any technical questions at all). Although, I clearly explained that my experience as a developer is limited they were satisfied with my experience in the railway industry. Unfortunately, they decided not to extend my probation period because they needed more software development knowledge than I displayed. Overall, it was a huge waste of time for both me and them. Interview process should have been conducted better with clear expectations and a little more technical involvement so both candidate and company can judge if they are a good fit
I attended the interview process as part of a campus drive at a college in Bengaluru. Multiple colleges came as part of the drive for multiple disciplines. This was after I cleared a virtual Online Assessment which was a coding round. We were supposed to have 2 rounds of interviews and 1 hr round, but due to a large number of candidates, only 1 interview and 1 hr was conducted. Only those who qualified for the technical interview went through to HR. I was rejected at HR round.
I had two rounds of interview , First one is HR screening and next round with manager and lead engineer for technical round. Both went okay and well informed on the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
C++ , Embedded Linux , and other discussion around problem solving.
It was very long and tiring and ill managed because nothing was done with the help of computers. Everything was done on papwe which is ironical for a tech company.
