First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at TotalEnergies.
Legal Counsel
I had an interview with the team lead, where we discussed practical aspects of global transactional legal matters. We also talked about the pragmatic approach and how it differs from a law firm's approach. They were keen to know about my interest in the industry and my understanding of the different divisions.
- Could you explain why you are interested in TotalEnergies and share your knowledge of the industry?
- Tell me about your experience with global transactional legal issues and your practical approach.
- How does your approach to legal matters differ from that of a law firm?
Sales Engineer
The hiring process was pretty simple, involving a mix of personal and behavioral interviews. We started with typical icebreakers like 'tell me about yourself.' This was followed by questions designed to understand my motivation for joining, like 'why do you want to work here,' and self-assessment questions like 'what are your strengths and weaknesses' and 'what value would you bring to the company.' They also asked questions to gauge cultural fit.
- In what ways are you the ideal candidate for this position?
Strategy Analyst
It started with an assessment test on the AssessFirst website, which included logic and pattern tests. Then there was a meeting with HR where we discussed classic fit questions, and the HR person gave me feedback on the assessment test. After that, I had a technical meeting with the team, focusing on data cleaning and collection using pandas with Python in a Jupyter notebook. Following that, I had a technical meeting with the hiring manager about financial ratios, market surveillance, and strategy benchmarking. Finally, there was a quick chat with the senior manager to see if I'd be a good fit.
- Can you outline the company's strategy, identify five of its direct competitors, and list the financial ratios you'd use to benchmark its strategy against those competitors?
- Explain the company's strategy, name five direct competitors, and identify the financial ratios for benchmarking strategy against competitors.
- Could you describe the company's strategy, name five direct competitors, and specify the financial ratios for benchmarking the strategy against competitors?
VIE
Entretien finance/stratégie classique : on va regarder 5 red flags financiers a verifier quand on fait une acquisition, comment valoriser une entreprise (DCF/Multiples/Equivalences) et on m'a posé la question sur si je suis prêt a vivre a l'etranger. Sinon dans l'ensemble assez classique et simple, preparation classique.
