I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Atos (Brussels)
Interview
A good first good contact from their HR led me to horribly wasting half day of my time.
The interviewers pretended they weren't informed of my coming albeit the invitation I received included them.
Possibly the most surrealistic interview: the guys had a vague idea of what they were asking me but kept looking for the wrong answer.
I counter-interviewed them only to witness how much they drifted: revealing details of their business unit they shouldn't have to.
I was pretty much disgusted but with a poker-face I told them I was very satisfied of the interview.
5 minutes later I sent a mail to HR to inform them I had found another opportunity.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I guess the most difficult part is when they go "by the book" e.g. asking you why customers might want to virtualize their infrastructure... If you don't give "their" answer (which has nothing to do with the sane business reasons or the extreme diversity of cases in real-life) you end up looping.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Atos (Brussels) in Nov 2021
Interview
Very straightforward process with 2 calls: one being an introduction to the company and providing a general overview by the future manager. The second interview was technical with Q&A on technical expertise and your background.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Atos (Kraków) in Mar 2021
Interview
Atos recrutier reached out via Linkedin and proposed two roles. Later we got on a call where recrutier evidently couldn't tell the difference between Enterprise Architect and Cloud Architect roles which were offered to me. With that, I took the risk and booked a technical 2nd round with Atos, although I could tell it would be a mess since they didn't know what they expect and what the role is all about. Technical round was consisting of a hiring manager (non-technical, talking-head) and an Azure Architect which was asking nothing but the engineering questions around public cloud, specifically Azure. They got so off from what was expected in the job description, that I had to stop them and ask if we're all aligned in terms of what's expected from the role and their questions. Atos people got perplexed, and I couldn't tell they also didn't realize I had applied to an architect role, not helpdesk/engineering role. Talking-head got so confused at the end trying to match me to 3-4 roles he had open vs my acctual application and vs my CV, I could tell this process wouldn't go anywhere. And sure it was - ATOS never replied back with the formal YES/NO decision. Chased their HR but for the 4th week in a row all she's able to tell is "they were very impressed with your abilities but I don't have an official feedback yet."
What a waste of time it was!

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Atos (Runcorn, England) in Feb 2019
Interview
Applied online - HR screening - technical interview - F2F interview.
Overall it was a very slow process and I had to chase for updates regularly. They were so slow that I had applied for another role and been offered the position in the same time it took for these guys to move from one stage to the next. It's been over a month and still not a final decision. I won't accept even if they do offer.
They also were not clear on the salary bracket either.
