I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thales (Paris) in Nov 2018
Interview
phone interviews with RH, then 1:1 with RH and technical manager. The interviews were held in their local and I was accompanied all the time with someone. They were nice and cordial.I liked that in their rejection email they explain the reason why. mine was because the salary I asked was too high :)

I applied online. I interviewed at Thales (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Sep 2025
Interview
Interviewed for Imperva Thales in Tel Aviv.
The process was quite long and included:
A technical screening
A home assignment — not particularly interesting
An online interview with 10 general data science questions
An in-office interview
An HR interview and meeting the team
Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing — very disrespectful treatment toward candidates. After all those stages, ghosted for a month and eventually received a rejection by text, not even a phone call.

Question 1
explain what a transformer is, write one SQL query (including a left join), one Python function, explain the difference between multithreading and multiprocessing
Le processus avait plusieurs étapes et plusieurs entretiens
- le premier avec RH,
- le second avec le futur manager
- le troisième avec un expert
Chaque entretien était bienveillant avec une discussion ouverte sur mes expériences et mon parcours
