Green Mountain Energy Interview Questions
& Process

This was a super long and drawn out process, taking more than 10 weeks and involving 6 interviews with 6 different people, with two of them interviewing me twice. It was really hard to get in touch with HR throughout the whole thing. The marketing folks were really negative about the sales team, and the sales folks seemed to have no idea about marketing management. HR also seemed lost on how to manage the hiring process. The initial HR person mixed up details about the job, missed scheduled calls, and generally made this whole thing drag out way too long. I ended up using over 12 hours of my PTO time for these interviews with interviewers who seemed unprepared and didn't really know what the job was about. Honestly, only consider this if you really, really hate your current job.

Super chill and relaxed interview. If you have prior sales experience, that's a big plus, and it helps if you're into helping the environment. The whole interview happens over the phone. Just one interview, and you gotta show you can sell their product using some laminates they give you. Sometimes, another manager might pop in to listen. Be ready to act professional and ask about the product and sales approaches. Doing this will help you nail it. If they offer you training, definitely accept and be on time. The office vibe is really laid back, but you gotta dress business casual. Everyone there works hard, so your attitude should match that.

I'm an energy pro who just moved to Austin. I applied on the website and heard back from HR via email within two weeks. They set up a phone screening, but didn't call at the scheduled time. After they rescheduled and we did the call, they passed me to the hiring manager. The HM called me first, and we had a nice chat, which led to an in-person interview with a few people, including them. The interviews weren't too tough, and everyone was nice and asked good questions. I thought there'd be one more interview, but nope. HR then sent me a long written assessment to complete to compare with other final candidates. They said if I did well, I'd get a final interview with the VP of marketing and two other managers. I submitted it, and within two days, they called to invite me to that interview. One HM interviewed me first, seeming confused about where their colleague was. After our chat, I was told to wait for the VP, who was running late. After 45 minutes with no updates, I was told the VP couldn't make it and was escorted out by HR. They apologized and said they'd call to reschedule, but never did. After chasing them, I got a rejection letter weeks later with no clear reason why.

The interview process started with a phone screen. Next, there was a 2-on-1 interview with two managers. The atmosphere was pretty laid-back and the interview was generally easy. They mainly wanted to see if you're a capable person with decent computer skills. You gotta know basic Excel stuff like sorting, filtering, ctrl+F, and ctrl+D. Nothing too tough. Dress code is business casual Monday through Thursday, with casual Fridays, so aim for better than that.
