I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thales (Singapore) in Aug 2024
Interview
I applied for a Full Stack position for Angular/Java.
1. It started with an online MCQ questions regarding Angular/Java and general software engineering questions and one leetcode question. Most of the questions are very basic googleable questions. Essentially, most of the Angular questions are like I want to do X, which one of the following is the correct syntax (whether Path/URL/Route/etc. should be the correct configuration keyword to use). The questions are uninteresting, and I do not think is useful in filtering the correct candidates. Then, there was also one leetcode question on Knapsack problem.
2. Was then invited to the attend the physical location. It was an interview with the team. Was asked to introduce my current system architecture, some Angular coding on the spot, and basic data structure and architecture question.
Then, was ghosted after that.
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.
