Groupe BPCE Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process included an HR interview for aptitude and qualities, followed by a manager interview focusing on skills. Then, there was an interview with the Director or Service Head to put a face to the name, involving a situational test to assess teamwork, adaptability, and specific qualities. Lastly, another HR interview was conducted.

The interviews were quite unpleasant with recruiters who constantly attacked, belittled obtained degrees and previous experiences, and scrolled on TikTok during my answers (so they didn't even make an effort to listen). In short, don't expect anything and you'll still be disappointed. Probably one of the worst interview experiences where I felt the least respect towards candidates who were just used as punching bags.

Mon expérience avec le processus de recrutement pour le poste de Communication Officer chez Estreem (une filiale de la BPCE) a été très décevante. Bien que les échanges aient semblé prometteurs au départ, le manque de communication et de respect a été frappant. Le processus a duré plusieurs semaines et a impliqué quatre entretiens, dont deux en personne et dans leurs locaux. J'ai également dû réaliser une synthèse sur demande du Chief of Staff. Malgré cet investissement de temps et d'efforts, je n'ai reçu aucun retour par la suite. Je trouve lamentable qu'une entreprise qui se vante de son professionnalisme ne prenne pas la peine de donner une réponse aux candidats qui ont investi autant de temps dans le processus. Préparez-vous à un processus long, fastidieux et à un manque de respect évident. Le temps que vous investirez ne sera peut-être pas respecté. Je vous conseille de bien évaluer si vous êtes prêt à prendre ce risque avant de vous engager.

I wanted to share feedback about the recruitment process for the Graphic Designer role. I liked the initial video call with Ms. Astrid Graux, it was professional and constructive. I prepared my CV and motivation video carefully. However, the rest of the process was disappointing. After our interview, the promised response times weren't met, and I had to follow up multiple times by email and phone to get updates. This lack of communication left me uncertain for weeks. Eventually, I received a very brief rejection stating the position was 'frozen', citing lack of experience without a more structured or official response. It felt like my application was dismissed without real consideration. I understand not everyone can be selected and experience is a factor, but more clarity, timely responses, and consideration in the final communication would have been appreciated.
