I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pernod Ricard (Sídney) in May 2019
Interview
Interviewed for job with Pernod Ricard Australia
1. Completed HireVue video.
2. Skype interview with Brand manager and Hiring manager - Competency based questions.
3. Didn't progress to interview stage 2.
I was not informed of next steps or that I didn't get the job despite working for Pernod Ricard for 3 years in other affiliates. After a complaint was made to PRA on my behalf, I was made aware that I was unsuccessful by a phone call nearly a month later. I was not impressed with this interview experience.

I interviewed at Pernod Ricard (París) in Apr 2022
Interview
L'entretien d'embauche suit un processus structuré. Tout d'abord, il y a une phase de préparation où le candidat se familiarise avec l'entreprise. Ensuite, l'entretien débute par des questions générales pour évaluer les compétences et l'expérience. Les entretiens suivants impliquent souvent différentes équipes pour évaluer l'adéquation culturelle et professionnelle. Enfin, un entretien de confirmation peut être prévu pour discuter des derniers détails et formalités. Ce processus vise à garantir une évaluation complète du candidat et à assurer une adéquation mutuelle entre le candidat et l'entreprise.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pernod Ricard (Auckland, ) in Nov 2020
Interview
The overall process was good. The questions were balanced between competency based and situational. I felt the interview was quite personal and felt the questions were tailored to the information they already knew about me. The interviews were done with the hiring manager only and I think it would be of benefit to have a HR representative present. I felt the feedback session post-interview was where the improvement could be
