Capgemini Software Engineer interview: business cases, Excel, and VBA

The process was concise: a recruiter phone screen, a technical conversation about a Java or React project, and a behavioral final round. Each stage lasted about half an hour, so it felt designed for quick decisions.

The technical part relied on business-case questions and knowledge outside typical coding. I discussed basic Excel and Power BI, Excel and VBA, and how I handled business problems through those tools. That was difficult in a particular way: it was more about business data and implementation thinking than finding one algorithmic answer.

I did not get an offer, but the process felt well paced and like a legitimate test of whether my experience matched their needs.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
