I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sanofi (Lyon) in Aug 2019
Interview
I emailed several managers and applied online. I was contacted by HR with whom I did a first interview. The interview was by phone and lasted 30 mins. I had a pretty fast feedback. Then, I had an interview with the hiring manager of 30 mins too.

Question 1
Why private sector? why sanofi? why should it be you? what are your weaknesses? achievements?
1:1 interview with the team lead. Very few technical questions, more of a conversation. This is NOT a case, the main objective is to test the synergy with the team lead.
It went very well, very direct and thorough. The interviewer wasn't mean. The whole process wasn't uncomfortable. It was like just relating with another person. Overall good interview process. Would rate it 7 over 10
Smooth, my manager is nice and friendly and easy to talk to. Most questions are about my CV and nothing really technique or math. The workplace is nice and new.
