Real, anonymous reports from people who interviewed for QA Engineer at Expleo Group, newest first and distilled into what to expect across the loop.
After a recruiter call, about a week later I went into the first real screening step: a technical quiz with multiple-choice questions, followed by a video response round. Once I was shortlisted, the process moved into live interviews with the hiring team and then a separate manager round, with HR involved throughout the later steps.
My process started with a quick recruiter interaction and then moved toward interviews that felt like they were trying to narrow down fit fast. The recruiting flow included an initial HR call and then a series of interview steps where the language and role fit were clearly part of the evaluation.
The interview process is generally structured into three main stages: initial HR screening, technical interviews focused on QA skills, and a final HR round for fit and expectations. Candidates appreciated the organized flow, although some experienced delays that affected their rhythm.
Candidates faced a mix of technical assessments, including written tests on SQL, Java, and QA fundamentals, followed by live technical interviews that required practical problem-solving skills. The difficulty varied, but many found the questions aligned with real-world QA tasks.
Interviews included behavioral questions to assess cultural fit and personal experiences, often focusing on past challenges and stakeholder management. This aspect was emphasized in later rounds, with interviewers looking for clear communication and alignment with company values.
Some candidates reported that interviews were conducted in multiple languages, which tested their communication skills and adaptability. This aspect was particularly emphasized for candidates who were not native speakers, affecting their overall experience.
The overall difficulty of the interviews was described as average to challenging, with some candidates feeling pressure due to the intensity of technical questions and the structured nature of the process. Many noted that the pressure was compounded by logistical delays.
Most candidates did not receive offers but appreciated the feedback provided at the end of the process, which helped clarify expectations and areas for improvement. The experience was generally viewed as transparent, despite the outcome.
