Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 days)
The interview process started with a phone interview. After this you get invited for a group round. It includes a company presentation, question session and presentation of yourself and a pre-made presentation. Second round consists of two 1:1 interviews with a small amount of case questions. It is an opportunity to meet project managers and director of the business unit. When all is completed a last interview is scheduled with one of the company directors. This one aims at identifying a good fit with the company and is informal. Overall not a usual job interview and more personal than other interviews. The presentation part can be hard if you do not cope well with the presentation you have to present.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
we were 5 candidates applying for different consultant positions in a meeting room.
The interviewer was late but afterwards was very nice.
We had to present ourselves ...what we did, why we are fit for the position and why we chose Alcimed.
Then we listened to a presentation by the interviewer. Couple of the guys made a sport out of it to ask question and left very little space for the others to ask anything as they covered all you wanted or didnt want to know. Maybe that was the right attitude, I really dont know.
Finally, we had to present a 2 min presentation after 5 minutes preparation on random slides they have of some market research they did in the past. It was hard to all the candidates to even get the general idea of the slides.
The company is more relaxed than other consultancies but I am not sure they will actually open the office in London at january 2012. Will have to wait and see.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Paris (France) (took 2 days)
First stage was group interview - fine if a little bizaare, the only real assessment involved presenting a two page set of slides we were given containing technical information, presumably from a 'real' Alcimed project. The only tricky part was that the English in the presentation was quite poor, making it difficult to know what the slides were actually about!
The second stage did not leave a good impression - three interviews more or less covering the same thing but with different people which all overran; perhaps it would have made more sense to have a panel interview. Plus the one with the most senior colleague was held at his desk in an open plan office and I was expected to discuss salaries etc in full earshot of his colleague - not very professional at all!
I was not offered a position but was more than happy with this - I did not get a very good impression of the company.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Paris (France) (took 2 days)
The company contacted me directly by email, after having found my resume in the database of the business school I was getting a masters at (EMLYON business school). The first part of the interview process was a group interview in their Paris headquarters together with 5 other people. Most candidates had technical backgrounds with some business add-ons. We had to present ourselves briefly and afterwards we had to each present one of Alcimed's past consulting projects, as if we were talking to the customer. After surviving that first (pretty informal) interview, they invited me to Paris again for a one on one interview which was with three different people. The head of the division I was applying for, a project manager of that division and the CEO. Afterwards they made an offer of around €36,000. I declined.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Lausanne (Switzerland) (took a day)
We were three to be interviewed, two girls and one boy. They were three from companies side. One HR and two consultants. They encouraged us to ask many questions since it was important that we understood the job. Since they spoke poor english I happened to have many questions.
They also put us in a horrible situation where they gave us complicated and badly prepared presentations to present after 5 minutes.
I got from there in shock and did not get any feedback. When I asked for feedback they just said you asked too many questions.!!!!
It was a very funny and unprofessional interview,and they didnt offer any os us the job although they claimed that they have a lot work to do.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 4 weeks)
after a phone screening, was invited to the company together with another four for a group interview. a short introduction, then a case study to make a presentation using ppt which is existing already. Afterwards, arrange another time to come to the company to have 1:1 interview, with the head and PM. easy questions about cv and motivation.
