Behavioral Case Presentation
Quick and standard application via their website, first interview with a Talent Acquisition Manager, second interview with their potential N+1, third interview with their potential N+2, a quick and interesting case study to be returned within forty-eight hours, final interview with the HR Director. Many steps, but an extremely quick process (between two to three weeks), with amazing availability from the recruitment team who remained attentive and supportive.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was long and disorganized with no transparency, although the exchanges with the team were good and positive. It initially moved fast, but then I was left hanging for weeks after the final stage because they wanted to process everyone through the entire interview pipeline. The offer, when it finally came, had a salary that was surprisingly and disappointingly outside the range I mentioned in the first interview. The process included: 1) Recruiter Screen: A friendly and helpful recruiter who asked standard background questions, but they hadn't reviewed my profile beforehand since my CV was in French and they don't speak French. They confirmed my salary expectations were within their budget. 2) Personality SHL and Numerical Tests: This was unexpected as it wasn't mentioned during the recruiter interview and took considerable time. 3) N+1 Interview: A pleasant interview with standard questions about my experience. I was asked to present a business case, but the recruiter hadn't provided it to me. 4) N+2 + HR Interview: A good but more challenging interview. It was a positive experience, and they seemed to care about me as an individual. 5) N+1 and Business Case: I then had to prepare a business case, which was quite lengthy but manageable.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was pretty quick to get answers on, and they followed up clearly. It was the typical interview process and questions, but what was unique is that the process is quite long. You start with the usual HR person, and from there you go to interviews with very high-level people in the organization. These are spaced out, so it took a while. I know it's the same thing in most cases.
