I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thales (Melbourne, FL) in Nov 2015
Interview
The interview consisted of a 2 hour interview with a hiring manager and a senior software engineer. 1 1/2 hours were technical in nature where we covered basic software engineering skills such as exception recognition and handling, object-oriented design and a code question. The code question had to do with strings and required that I do some white-board coding.
The other 30 minutes was a "getting to know you," soft-skills type interview.
My interviewers were great.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a code sample, what exceptions could possibly be generated?
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.

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.
