ParisPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with a quick recruiter conversation that was basically about motivation and my background.

It was very short—around fifteen minutes—and it was all in English. I remember having to sound convincingly “googlized,” but there wasn’t any technical questioning at all.

After that, I didn’t move forward. The reason I was given was that I passed the question, but they felt I wasn’t asking enough clarifying questions during the discussion. Even though it wasn’t a technical screen, that expectation still mattered a lot in how they evaluated me.
