I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thales (Irvine, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I was notified of this job through a friend of mine and I applied through HR. The process took about two weeks. The hiring manager set me up with an interview with one of the software engineers. I was asked questions about Java/C++ and mostly job experience questions. I was notified in less than a week about the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What the three main differences between C++ and Java are, and which one is better.
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.
