The interview started with a standard engineering fundamentals assessment. After passing that, I moved on to a video interview. Unfortunately, the interviewers were really unprofessional. They didn't even turn on their cameras, and one accused me of cheating with my phone even though my camera was on and they could see me. To make matters worse, one of them left the interview mid-way to take another call. Their general lack of professionalism, rudeness, and sincerity really dampened my enthusiasm for the company.

Behavioral
It was just one behavioral interview. Knowing Wabtec values is a plus, and being able to answer the questions well too. Be yourself, be confident. Don't give them any sign of incompetency. If you are not sure of a question, feel free to say " Can you give me three minutes to think about my answer?" They'll most likely say yes and when they do, don't get nervous just keep thinking until you're ready to answer. If you are still not ready, you can tell the interviewer to move on to the next question and come back to the previous one later.

Group Behavioral
The interview process had several steps. First, we were in a group setting where we had to assemble items (legos) as a team. I assume this was to check our teamwork skills. Then, there were one-on-one interviews where I had to answer questions and describe myself and my skills. If I was selected, I would then come back for a week of orientation before being sent to my department to start the job.

The interview process was pretty smooth. I had two rounds, the first one was about 45 minutes long, and the second one was 30 minutes. Both rounds were focused on data structures and algorithms. They also threw in some questions about Operating Systems and Computer Networking.
