Applied online and heard back a couple of months later for a 30 min phone screening with HR. They asked typical HR questions. This was followed quickly by another 30 min call with the program's lead engineer. He had me describe parts of my resume with him providing very little input. It felt like he wasn't very interested, and I never heard from them again.

Don't bother with the long application and interview process. It feels like ERCOT wants a large candidate pool for some political reason, but they aren't serious about hiring anyone. They'll keep checking if you're still available while interviewing others for the same job. It's not professional.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- Can you repeat what you just said?
- Please reiterate your previous statement.
- Could you go over that again?
