J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez ALSTOM (Bengaluru) en mai 2016
Entretien
The interview was a telephonic round which i was unable to clear it even though questions were pretty straight forward. They just jumped to Linux and C and i guess that they are really expecting guys who had worked in linux drivers and stuffs. The telephonic interview lasted for 20 to 25 minutes

Question 1
The PM asked me to use TerminateThread to stop a thread. I was of the opinion that this API is only permitted for use at extreme cases and I wrote the code using SetEvent() to signal the thread to stop. He saw the code and I think he was not convinced with my answer as I did not use TerminateThread..
