TotalEnergies Software Engineer interview: technical rounds and communication assessment

The process had several interviews, each with a fairly clear purpose. I began with HR, discussing my background and motivation. Technical interviews with the hiring team came next, followed later by leadership-level conversations. The atmosphere stayed professional and constructive, and I never felt dismissed. There was also an online soft-skills assessment. The in-person rounds combined technica…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
