Behavioral Technical

Chat with HR and a technical lead: HR read a script very fast, the technical lead didn't seem to know why they were there. Overall, not a good experience, they hesitated when I asked more specific questions, probably because they didn't have answers. Probably the most shocking answer was 'we're looking for someone proactive' when I asked about the onboarding process for a junior and team integration.

Behavioral Technical Other

The whole process took about 4-5 weeks. First, I had an interview with the team, which was pretty technical, covering models and stuff. Then there was an interview with HR about my motivation, and an aptitude test which was like a normal IQ test. Finally, I interviewed with a bunch of business unit leads, mostly asking about my knowledge of energy markets.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • What's your take on where the energy market is headed?
  • Can you describe a recent challenge you encountered and how you managed to overcome it?
  • What specific data would you leverage to forecast intraday prices?
