Technical Behavioral

So the interview itself was okay, nothing super hard, the interviewers seemed like decent people. But then things went downhill fast. The hiring process was totally unclear, the director ignored my emails about the job and seemed to not care at all. I had to chase HR about my application status about three weeks after they said they'd have a decision. HR then told me I had an offer ready, but they took it back because I sent my transcripts by email after they'd already picked me. Honestly, I've never felt so let down and relieved at the same time. This place is clearly a mess.

Behavioral Technical

It was a two-round process, starting with some basic background and sector questions. It took a few weeks from applying to get the first interview, and then a few more weeks for the second one. I got the offer about a week after that second interview.

Behavioral Technical

The process was kind of loose because of the timing. FERC did a bad job setting up the interviews and letting me know what was going on. I had one interview scheduled with a person, but then someone else did the interview. After that first phone interview, the interviewer said someone would call me back in a week. I never heard back, so I called them after two weeks and the guy was surprised no one had contacted me. Finally, I got scheduled for a second interview, which was actually like three different interviews. The whole thing seemed badly managed. From the interviewer changing last minute, to the interviewer saying it was his last day at the company and no one following up. This FERC department seemed like a mess.
