Behavioral Technical
So the interview process was pretty standard, three people on the interview panel - supervisor and peers. Usually I don't leave reviews, but wow, the interviewers were super unprofessional. They had no neutrality in their expressions and I could tell they were having a side conversation on Teams at one point. I got so distracted and messed up an answer and felt like I was rambling because one of the women was grinning and tried to hide it by taking a drink. It was so disrespectful. I should've just ended it there, knew it wasn't a fit for either of us. Employees represent Duke, and they are being interviewed just like the applicant.

Behavioral Technical
Had a panel interview over MS Teams with the manager and team. It was pretty laid back. They started with behavioral questions, the kind you'd expect when talking about unexpected or uncomfortable situations. Then they moved on to technical questions about NERC and transmission protection circuitry, stuff you'd probably only know if you've worked in that specific role or something similar at another power company. Nice people though.

Technical Behavioral
I had several Zoom/Teams calls, followed by a long in-person panel interview. Although I didn't get an offer, I probably wouldn't have accepted it anyway. They waited until the end of the in-person interview (which I took a day off work for) to mention that they couldn't meet the salary I specified in my application. This is the second time Duke has done this to me (the first time I got an offer and declined), so it seems like their standard practice. It's unprofessional, and I'll reconsider applying to other Duke roles.

Technical Coding Behavioral
Recruiter from a recruitment firm contacted me on LinkedIn, which was a good experience. I then completed a remote technical assessment. It involved recording myself on camera and screen sharing using a Chrome extension, and it had about 25 multiple-choice questions covering Typescript, Angular, and AWS, plus a coding challenge at the end that was similar to a LeetCode easy-medium problem. After that, I had a remote interview with a manager and three engineers. They asked about basic HTML and CSS, and more advanced Angular concepts. Since I didn't have much AWS experience, they skipped some questions in that area. There were also a few behavioral questions using the STAR method. The interview concluded with another Angular coding challenge where I had to build a small application.
