Interviewed Apr 2010 in New Delhi (India) (took a day)
The interview was very comfortable. They made sure that I am well aware of the profile and my understanding of their unit. The office was quite small and with very few people so it seemed to offer good networking time. The person who interviewed me was very supportive and guided me throughout the process.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
initial communication by phone; then an interview with HR, followed by an interview with the potential supervisor and his manager. The interview was highly technical due to the job posting and required from me to provide examples on how to deal with specific tools required for the job. It was a formal environment and I had to demonstrate proficiency in spoken French and English.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The employer offers good benefits and they present compensation as a package including salary, time off, added benefits... Salary wise it is a bit low compared to the market, yet again it compensates based upon the packaged benefits and the working hours.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Paris (France) (took 3 weeks)
After my referral by an employee, a recruiter got in touch with me, and organized the phone interviews. I had 4 interviews with all the team members before I finally had the personality & skills assessment tests, followed by a 1:1 interview with a recruiter. You have to be motivated and appear dynamic, knowledgeable and open-minded, while resisting stressful situations.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Brussels (Belgium) (took 2 months)
A very lenghty and unclear process, after 4th stage I was informed to have 1 more interview, and then 1 more and after maybe another... The whole prcess took more than 2 months, very poor communication, very arrogant and unhelpful staff, the offer was presented just on the final stage (so after a 2-month recruitment process) and was very disappointing, definitely below market offers...
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Poor salary, poor benefits
