ALTEN Belgium Software Engineer interview with one-week profile check

The interviews felt intentionally light. I got the sense they wanted to confirm that my profile matched what they needed rather than test technical depth. The early conversations were about fit and discussion more than whether I could do the job at a technical level.

The process moved quickly. I first had a phone contact to validate my profile and discuss salary, then spoke with the responsible manager. The manager explained the available missions and conditions. Those two stages happened over about a week.

The conversations were straightforward, but role direction mattered. I was interested in the opportunities presented, yet I did not continue when the details leaned too heavily toward a particular focus. To me, the early stages were about alignment and logistics more than rigorous technical assessment.

Location: Madrid. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: got offer.
