Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Duke Energy.
Project Manager Intern
The interview process didn't really involve technical questions, unless it was about understanding the role itself or the team I'd be joining. Mostly, I had to answer a lot of behavioral questions about myself. The team was super nice, and I actually got the job and worked with them for the summer!
- What are the responsibilities of a project manager?
Project Manager
I had an interview with the contracting recruiter and then a panel interview with the Contracts Manager, Manager of Project Managers, and a peer Project Manager. Both interviews were an hour long. I didn't hear back for 4 weeks, but then I got an offer. They gave me a pay range and negotiating was easy.
- Can you share an instance where a project you managed exceeded its budget, or encountered an issue during execution, and describe your recovery strategy?
