I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Atos (New York, NY) in Nov 2013
Interview
Interview process was quick and I was hired after one group phone screening and one f2f group interview. Hiring was through a recruiting company in CA. Rate negotiation was good. Recruiter agreed to pay rate I was looking in $70 - $ 80 per hr.
Recruiter messed up the onsite interview date but Atos Manager was very courteous and entertained me to interview when I reached there though date was wrong.
After that hiring decision was made quickly and an offer was made. It also involved a background check plus drug testing.
