I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alan in May 2025
Interview
Very comprehensive process, covering software philosophy, implementation, architecture, behaviour. I talked to more than a dozen different people in the company. The good thing is that I really got to know the singular and interesting value system of Alan.

Example of situation where you failed, and what did you learn.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Alan in Nov 2025
Interview
As described on their website, no surprises there.
My main grievance is how some European companies (French in particular) seem to be taking interviewing processes into a "show us how hard you can lick the boot" competition, where you are not only interviewing for a job, but you are also supposed to show how badly you want that company in particular, they will ask how you showcase their company values, you even have to lookup in advance and learn how they like questions answered, they don't give guidelines, so it's up to you to burn your time learning the "Alan way".
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Alan (Paris)
Interview
Entretien de "découverte" d'une quarantaine de minutes avec une personne des ressources humaines, il m'a posé des questions de routine sur mes expériences passées et ensuite j'ai pu poser mes questions par rapport à l'entreprise et l'environnement de travail.

Question 1
Sur quoi suis-je le plus fier d'avoir travaillé dans mon entreprise actuelle ? Quelle est ma prétention salariale ?
