After submitting my CV online, I got a call from HR if I was pre-selected. Then, I was invited on-site to do some psychometric tests. If I passed those, I had one or two interviews with HR and Management.

Entretien RH, test de personnalité et entretien avec le manager puis l'associé. J'ai eu des questions sur le poste, un test en comptabilité et en fiscalité. Le niveau était facile car c'était un QCM. La RH était assez stricte, mais le manager et l'associé m'ont mise à l'aise.

Behavioral Technical
I had 2 interviews for this trainee role. The first was a quick virtual one, maybe 2 minutes long. The interviewer asked if I knew anyone at Keolis or had electrical experience, which seemed odd for a training position. A few days later, I was invited for a second interview at their Somerville location. This time, I met with two interviewers who told me electrical experience wasn't actually needed because railroad systems are unique. They seemed surprised by my resume, saying "oh, I didn't even notice that" about points I brought up. Despite feeling the interview went well, I got an email saying they selected a candidate whose experience was a better fit. This was for an entry-level trainee position, so it felt like nonsense. I'm not interested in their $22.79/hour for the first 120 days, the unionization wait, the 5-year vesting for railroad retirement, the non-matching 401k, or the benefits that only start after a year. Reading reviews, many people report bad management. They wasted my time.
