I had a technical interview with two levels of management, one in person and one via video call. Then, I had a chat with HR. The managers asked me technical questions like 'How would you approach this development?' and 'What's the difference between X and Y?' The HR discussion was just a standard conversation with no specific questions.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you explain to me how you would do this development?

I applied in person. The process took 8 weeks. I had an interview at Novasep Nancy in November 2018. I had an interview with my N+1 who spoke for 45 minutes out of 55 and asked no questions. Then an HR interview where they only asked basic questions you'd find with a quick Google search, without going into detail. Finally, an interview with my N+2 which was relevant to the position. It was a real discussion that helped me understand what the job involved and highlight my strengths for the role.

Behavioral Technical

J'ai eu un entretien avec les RH et le responsable du service. On m'a posé des questions sur les qualités nécessaires pour un poste en contrôle qualité, ainsi que sur le principe de la chromatographie. Il y avait aussi une question à la fin pour vérifier si j'avais bien écouté ce qui avait été dit.

Behavioral Technical

The hiring manager picked me up at the gate right on time. On the way to the HR person, we had a conversation that gave me some initial ideas for the interview. The interview itself was structured (candidate, company, role + outlook) and the HR person was very well-prepared and informed (even about non-everyday HR topics). But somehow, neither side really clicked. The result was accordingly.
