It was a really tough interview process. They asked a lot of questions about my current job and the technology I'm using right now. The tech they are using is pretty advanced. It seems like a good place to join if you want to learn new things.

Behavioral Presentation
I had a meeting in 2006 with two managers. They asked me questions about my customer service work experience. It was a standard interview. They asked me several questions about my teamwork skills. They asked me if I could report a theft by a colleague, which I found a strange question for an interview. Then, they asked me to improvise a role-playing scenario in the context of an in-store tasting for customers. I found this job interview very friendly and relevant.

It was a formal interview with the branch director. They asked really common questions, and some tricky ones about alcohol use and sales. You should practice your interview skills before coming! The directors are super nice and welcoming. The whole interview was in French. There were also roleplaying questions, so practice scenarios beforehand.
