The two Product Manager candidates here describe a conversational, people-focused process rather than a technical one. Both began with an HR conversation about background and past roles, then moved to meetings with managers or a director. Both received offers, and one reports accepting.
The common thread is that your CV and career story are the main material. One candidate was asked to walk through past projects, objectives and where they wanted to take their career. They also had to describe work thoughtfully without breaching confidentiality. The other was asked why Sopra Steria, where they saw themselves in five to ten years, and what colleagues would say about them. That candidate also met two managers back-to-back for over an hour each, wrote a handwritten motivation letter during the meeting, and worked through a small case study tied to the function.
The reports differ in tone. One describes warm, reactive interviewers and a well-structured process. The other describes some interviewers as distant and received no formal feedback after the final interview. Because the evidence is limited to two reports, treat the format as a likely outline, not a fixed script.
To prepare, rehearse a concise story for each major project, covering your goal, your ownership and the outcome. Have a clear answer on why you want to join Sopra Steria, and be ready for a light case discussion.

Candidates report a more substantive conversation with managers or a director, held in person at the Nantes office in one case.
