I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Renault Group in Jul 2011
Interview
3 interviews. one with a communication "coordinator" told me outright she favored another candidate and was in conflict with the person who referred me, one with HR where the questions were superficial and clearly not aimed at gaining any relevant information and a final one with the deputy communications director who was the only one who actually showed any interest and asked some relevant questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your salary expectations (asked almost straight away by HR)
