I applied online. I interviewed at Sézane in Mar 2025
Interview
The process included two interviews and one (time-consuming) assignment. Unfortunately, the overall experience felt disorganized and unprofessional. I received emails addressed to a different candidate, which raised concerns about attention to detail. The final round was supposed to include both an employee and the current intern, but only the intern conducted the interview, which was unexpected and felt disregarded.
Communication was also slow—after completing the "final" interview, I waited nearly three weeks for a rejection response. The lack of timely and respectful follow-up, especially after the effort invested, left a poor impression.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sézane (Paris) in Mar 2025
Interview
After the first-round interview, I was offered a different position than the one I had originally applied for. Although it was not my initial preference, I was open to the opportunity and completed the assignment they provided, which advanced me to the final interview stage.
Unfortunately, the recruitment process felt disorganized. First, I received an email that was addressed to another candidate, which appeared to be intended for me but had not been properly updated before being sent. Second, there was a last-minute change to the interview panel, and my final interview was conducted by another intern from the company. While I appreciate that interns can contribute to the hiring process, this arrangement did not meet my expectations for a final-stage interview and came across as lacking coordination.
Finally, I received a rejection three weeks after the final interview, with no interim communication. Given the time and effort invested throughout the process, I found this delay discourteous.
Overall, I felt that the recruitment process lacked organization and professionalism, particularly in its communication and treatment of candidates.
