Interviewed Jul 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 6 weeks)
Applied online... 3 weeks later I was contacted by HR. I set up my initial phone interview which lasted 20 min. They asked the normal questions regarding your resume: work history, degrees received, etc. They told me that someone from engineering would contact me if my skills aligned with their needs. 1 week later I had my 2nd interview with the hiring director... we spent about 2 hours on the phone. Casual conversation... At the end of the conversation, I was invited out to meet the team. 2 weeks later I flew out. Areva covered all expenses (air, hotel, meals, rental car)... everything was first class. I had a panel interview first... and then during the course of the day I had a number of 1:1 interviews with people from the panel as well as upper management. Day 2 was more of the same. Would have loved to work there... but I think they hired someone who was local over me. The job description did say that relocation was not covered... I never touched on that assuming that if an offer was made that this may be negotiable. After the onsite interview, HR never followed up with me... 4 weeks after the onsite, I had to contact the hiring director to gain some closure to the process. The position had been filled.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Charlotte, NC (took a day)
The interviewer was professional and enthusiastic about the company. He was very eager share his experiences with the company, which were all very good. Nothing bad to say about the company. They are great and provide a lot of room to move around and find the place where you really belong.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 7 months)
Found the position on Areva website and applied on line. received a phone call from the HR manager and was pleasantly encouraged that we might have a good fit between my background and the position profile. It took a while to connect with various VP and phone interviews. Finally made the trip to Charlotte, NC and disappointedly for such position met only for a short time in the afternoon with multiple parties around a table, no personalized chat, no lunch invitation for a less formal talk after flying in from over 1,000 miles, interview with the interface in France; HR personnel subsequently too busy or absent to communicate and make progress; finally received not only an offer for a different position & title than the one advertised but also sub par compensation and little flexibility to discuss. Professionnally not too impressed by the process and not encouraged by the administratively heavy and impersonal atmosphere. International firm which should be appealing but seeming to have a challenge in attracting talent.
