Behavioral Technical
1 HR call, nothing very interesting and rather classic. Then 1 technical call (didn't go further), the interviewer was not exciting. The missions were poorly described but the organization was clear about the teams, the commands, the processes, etc. (however, it did not suit me).

Behavioral Technical
First an HR interview, then interviews with the n+1 and n+2 managers, and finally with the HR Director. Standard HR questions were asked, followed by more technical questions during the manager interviews. It was a pleasant interview. The recruitment process was long from the first interview to the final answer.

Applied on-line. It took 4 weeks for my application to be processed. Then I was invited for an interview. The interview lasted 3 hours and was with two senior staff members, one manager, and one technical person. It was quite interactive and based on my CV.
