I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ALSTOM (Richmond, VA) in Aug 2012
Interview
HR phone interview first. Then two interviews with two people each. First group was with a supervisor and manager from the department. The second group was with one of the officers from a different department and the hiring manager. Everyone was very nice and professional. After the interviews ended the HR rep came back in and spoke with me. She let me know I'd done quite well, and they would be in touch.
