Technical Behavioral Presentation
Interviewed for Volume Forecasting Senior Analyst. There were 5 stages: 1. CV screening 2. Industry-specific test -- using some data HR gave me, I needed to create a forecasting model using R or Python, document my thinking process and results, and report it back in the next stage if I were successful. 3. Interview with a hiring manager and a senior member of the team. 4. Interview with a head of the department. 5. Offer. Overall the process was a bit lengthy and communication with HR was intermittent, e.g. they were not proactive in terms of getting back to me and giving updates, so I had to call them myself several times. The interviews were typical, and the forecasting exercise was doable too. The job was to be based in Croydon and that's where they wanted to have interviews #3 and #4. I lived in the North at that time (2 years before pandemic and remote working), and they were comfortable with Skype interviews, which I liked.

after submitting my online application, I had a telephone interview, then some numerical and logical tests. After that, I had formal competency based questions with the Manager and a Senior Analyst. They asked about my knowledge of the company and industry, and also about career progression. Lastly, they asked why EDF and what attracts me to EDF. The whole thing took 4 weeks.

I had a short Zoom interview with two people where they asked standard questions. After that, there was an Excel exercise using a large spreadsheet, which I had trouble submitting. A further interview was planned, but I withdrew because I had already accepted another offer. The overall process felt excessively long.
