Technical Behavioral
The interview process included asking basic questions about the power triangle, like whether the power from an outlet is AC or DC. They also inquired about my experience, particularly with Python scripting and automation. Additionally, there were many behavioral questions.

Behavioral Technical
I applied to a bunch of entry level jobs. Then I had to write answers to some standard questions like 'why this role' and 'strengths'. Someone from HR then called me for a 30 min chat to talk about stuff like my ideal work environment and manager. After that, I had a 1 to 1.5 hour technical interview where they asked me technical questions and specific things about my resume.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- Could you define Ohm's law and tackle some simple circuit analysis problems?
- What is the power factor and how does it connect to the power triangle?
- Tell me about 3 phase power and symmetrical components, specifically positive, negative, and zero sequence loads.

Behavioral Technical
I was interviewed by two engineers, one senior and another with 3 years of experience. The interview felt pretty comfortable and easy. They started by asking about my personality and hobbies. Then we moved to typical behavioral questions and scenarios. Finally, they asked electrical-specific questions to test my understanding of grid and system operations.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Regarding electrical systems, what physical component changes occur as loads and power rise?

Presentation Behavioral
So I was supposed to interview for a Project Manager position that was remote. The recruiter told me it was an internal PM role to help with IT projects during business expansion. At first, they said the interview would be about my personality and past experience. But then, the day before, they emailed me asking me to prep for a sales interview. I double-checked with the recruiter that she knew I applied for the project manager job, not a sales one, but she still insisted on a sales interview. I told the recruiter I wasn't interested in a sales role and suggested they should probably change the job description for the Project Manager role to an external sales role instead.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Be prepared to do a presentation, demoing a software of your choice for 10 minutes, where you'll sell it to a potential client.
