I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ALTEN (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2019

In my case I reached out to ALTEN, and inquired given their advertisments on Linkedin concerning mechatronics engineers, if they would be interested in me. Was requested to send my CV and a link to Linkedin. After that screening, I got an email back that a ruicruiter would like to call me, I believe within the week. After a pleasent phone call, I was invited to ALTEN in Eindhoven, where I sat through 2 rounds of interviews, with different management personnell. At the end of the second round, I was told they'd be in touch shortly, and they promptly did so.
I was provided with a 'take it or leave it' offer at the end of the rounds, and I thought it suitable, so I took them up on their offer. Haven't regretted that since.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Expect general questions regarding your prior work, they way you'd like to work, what you expect from 'consultancy'-work, as well as some questions where they will start to probe some in-depth knowlegde that you claim to have on your CV. From my viewpoint, the management staff comes prepared to the interviews, and they will have educated themselves on the fields that you claim to know. If need be, they'll bring in an expert, to judge your know-how.
I applied online. I interviewed at ALTEN (Troy, MI) in Jun 2017
Interview
I was called for an in-person interview at their office in Troy, Michigan. Two people interviewed me for multiple positions based in and out of Michigan. Everything went smoothly and they told me about the next stage which was to be held the following week with the client.
The whole next week passed and I was never contacted from any of the staff from Alten. Even my mails weren't responded to. Finally after I called them, they gave me a standard reply that someone else was selected.
I don't have a problem with someone else get but the unprofessional of these people. They have all under qualified Frenchmen working there who call themselves Engineers, I don't know but by what qualification.
Glad I didn't join them and I would never recommend anyone to apply for a job at this bogus unprofessional so-called consulting company.
