First, take the iq and language test. Then only the chosen people have to take interview in the same day.
Ask about what do you know about company and how many company do you apply for?
Finally they ask for time to think about it and if they are interested , they call me.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Greenville, SC (took 1 week)
The first thing in the process is a Phone Screening with a HR recruiter. Pretty easy interview. Basic questions. The woman asked me about my past work experience. Some other questions that I can remember are: Why Michelin? Why do you like sales? Strengths. Areas to improve on. Willing to relocate? Other very basic questions. It's a very simple/easy interview and most should be able to pass the screen test to go on to headquarters interviews.
Next I received a call later that afternoon (same day as phone screen) from the recruiter inviting me to go to Greenville, SC for in person interviews.
Also, before HQ interview you have about 200 or so assessment/personality questions to answer. Not too bad.
Once I got to Michelin HQ it was sit down with two HR women and chat about what the interview schedule will be like for the day. I interviewed with 3 different people. The interviews were individual not talking to three at once. It was pretty basic for the most part, but it was also a moderately difficult. I'd say two of the three interviewers were really trying to make me slip and say something wrong. They seemed to really find out if I was right for Michelin. It's a very corporate environment/culture. Nice HQ. You will also be with other people who are also interviewing for the same job. I had two other people with me throughout the process. You interview seperate but you rotate through the interviews.
The whole process at HQ took about 4 hours. You talk to each person for an hour. Then have lunch with the two HR women. Then signed out and went home.
The overall feel I had was that the Training Program is very intense and that you can potentially be "weeded out" during the 12 weeks of training. You will have to take tests, presentations, work in the field with a current sales manager. It just seemed like it was going to test if you could handle pressure/stress. You have to pass all tests with an 80 or better. You have to relocate at the end of program to whereever they tell you to go. It seems like a good program but very challenging and stressful. The job itself seemed very stressful. You would have to be very structured/disciplined to plan out your daily schedule by yourself. It would be a job that would not have much supervision.
Advice: Be prepared to sell yourself. Talk a good game. Always say positive stuff. Be careful about how you answer questions. Good luck!

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Beirne, AR (took 2 weeks)
I got the interview through an employee referrer. The interview wasn't too difficult. We went over my technical background and leadership background. Then they asked me to solve a few design problems. They wanted to see if you can come up with creative solutions.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
First they asked general questions about eligibility to work in the US. There were two people, one who asked the general questions and the other who asked more specific questions about my resume. They asked what my career goals were in the next 5 years. They asked about my experiences and how it applied to Michelin. They also asked if I have any teaching or tutoring experience. Overall, it was very laidback and both interviewers were very friendly.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
This is an excellent organization and has a very good interviewing process, focussed on identifying people who are both technically and socially a good fit with the company's long term needs. One weakness in the process was that I was never absolutely sure what position I was interviewing for, despite repeated asking!
The first interview was a telephone interview that lasted about 30 minutes. It was conducted by a senior HR manager and a technical manager. Ample time was allowed for questions. Past salary information was requested at the end of the discussion.
The second stage consisted of 5 one-on-one interviews and a technical presentation at their US research headquarters. Interviewers ranged from HR representative, to technical managers, to researchers. A good tour of the facility was given.
