Expleo Group Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was really drawn out, lasting about two months. I got through all the stages and even got a confirmation email and finished the document verification part. But then, the HR just refused to give me the offer letter. It left me feeling totally frustrated and down for about six months. Luckily, I found another job later, even though it paid less. If not, this year would've been a total mess. It wasn't just me; four other people who were selected had the same thing happen. I think Expleo is a decent company, but the HR person handling my case was super unprofessional and didn't keep their word at all. At first, they were really nice, but then they started ignoring messages and kept postponing updates. Finally, they claimed 'other candidates were selected,' but none of those candidates ever got offer letters. It felt like a total scam, messing with our feelings and all the effort we put in. Dealing with such dishonesty after working so hard is really discouraging and mentally draining. I really hope the higher-ups look into these HR practices because situations like this can really mess with a candidate's mental health and could even make someone lose hope or do something drastic. Please make sure no one else has to go through this.

The interview process had two parts. First was an HR interview over the phone, which was a general chat about the company, yourself, and a quick English check. It was very relaxed. The second part was a technical interview, conducted on Teams with two interviewers. They asked about ECUs and sensors, and about some maintenance tools. Knowing about or using similar tools was a plus, though one tool was acknowledged as being very difficult to know. The discussion was open, focused on how you think rather than exact definitions. The process moved quickly, with a final answer given in under a week.

The interview I had stopped at the second stage. Both stages were remote, via video call. The first was an introductory interview with an HR employee, the second a technical interview with the same HR employee monitoring and two Data Scientists from the team I would have eventually joined. Not only was the technical interview not commensurate with my actual experience, compared to what they declared in the job posting, but I was repeatedly accused of looking up answers on the internet - which is obviously not true - thus lacking trust and professionalism towards a candidate. I preferred to stop the technical interview, saying I had no intention of continuing the process if it was going to be like this.

The process had 3 stages: an initial HR call, then a technical interview, and a final HR call. The first HR call covered the group presentation, your experiences, career outlook, and salary expectations. The technical interview involved discussing your education and work history, explaining the role, and asking technical questions, plus discussing your future outlook. The final HR call was for salary negotiation.
