I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ALTEN
Interview
3 phone interviews with the client for whom I would have worked discussing my curriculum, past job and education, reasons to work in Amadeus (the client I would have worked for), and the company.
I had then an on site interview in Sophia Antipolis main site. It lasted just 30 minutes and usually it can be done either in english, french or italian depending on the interviewer
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ALTEN in Mar 2011
Interview
There were some basic skills which the interviewer wanted to confirm. They wanted to ensure I spoke Dutch, and that I had sufficient experience with certain programming languages such as C, C++, C#. Afterwards the interviewer discussed what the company did. This was just a screening interview, and this was followed up with a 1:1 interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We want to make sure you have enough experience with C. Are there any projects where you worked with C?
