Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at TotalEnergies.
Data Scientist
A recruiter reached out to me and gave me a good rundown of what they were looking for so I could get ready. Then I chatted with the head of the Facility and the head of the Data team, and they decided to hire me.
- Can you tell me about your experience with the design of experiments?
- What technologies are in your tech stack?
- What projects have you worked on?
Data Scientist
I had three interviews, two of them were technical. The second technical interview was a mess: both interviewers were late and kept cutting each other off. One would ask a question, and the other would jump in with a different one, seemingly unrelated. They asked really general questions, sometimes out of the blue, stuff you can easily find online or in a textbook – like the formula for a ReLU function. That kind of question is more for a school test than a job interview. It would have been better to discuss past experiences or real-world cases, unless something like 'ReLU' was specifically on my resume, which it wasn't. The interview really lacked structure, preparation, and professionalism. It felt like an immature and disorganized process.

The hiring process at TotalEnergies unfolds in stages. First, candidates submit an email to HR. This is followed by an initial chat with the HR department, then a technical interview. After that, there's a second interview with HR, then the final hiring decision is made.
