Technical Behavioral Group Other
There were several rounds of interviews. It began with a general aptitude test, followed by an AI test where I had to record answers to 3-4 questions. Then there was a group interview, and finally, two in-person interview rounds. I declined the final round interview because I'd already accepted another offer, even though listing French proficiency led to an invitation for it.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you share an experience where you faced and overcame challenges?
- Can you demonstrate the skills you've listed on your resume?
- Can you hold a conversation in French?

Behavioral Technical
You apply online and get a link to a HireVue interview, which has about four or five questions. They are typical behavioral questions for this type of role, plus one that's about their bottling business. If you're getting ready for interviews, you'll likely be okay, but it's a good idea to look into what they do so you have a basic idea.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you share an instance where you successfully resolved an issue even with unclear information?
