Behavioral Technical

It began with some emails for a virtual interview. Then I spoke with the team leader and engineer supervisor. The next day, the engineer supervisor let me know they liked me and would be in touch about the next step soon. A couple days later, I interviewed with a few team leaders and the engineer supervisor, and got the job offer within a week. I asked about relocation assistance, which took them a bit longer to respond to. After that, I received my offer and the relocation package and just had to do the background check.

Technical Behavioral

I sent in my application online through LCRA's website. First, there was a phone interview where they asked some basic questions to figure out what area I'd be a good fit for. About a week after that, I had an on-site interview in Austin, TX. Overall, it was a good experience; the interviewers were really patient and helpful. The technical questions were pretty general and lined up with the job description. They usually don't reach out if you don't get the job.

Technical Behavioral

The first step was a phone interview which was the main technical part. They asked me to talk about FERC/NERC, ISO/RTO, and ERCOT and how it relates to those, along with other things. I also got typical behavioral questions and was asked about my computer skills. They also wanted to know what I knew about LCRA, focusing on the transmission side. After that, I had an on-site interview, which was mostly about seeing if I'd be a good cultural fit.

Behavioral Technical

I got a call with some general behavioral questions and to go over my background. They scheduled an interview but then postponed it by a week without giving a reason. After the interview, which I thought went well, they said I'd hear back in two weeks. Two weeks later, I had to reach out, and they told me they were delaying the decision. Two months after that, I saw on LinkedIn that someone I knew had taken the job.
