I applied in-person. I interviewed at ALSTOM (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Interviewed by other knowledgeable engineers and not just an uninformed HR guru. My boss first interviewed me, then followed by one of the engineers. It made the experience feel real, like they wanted to find the right person to do the work.
First I received a call from the Company asking me my Job description and their requirements.
Then there was a telephonic round followed by F2F Interview and HR round.
The Offer was given after final Negotiations.
