S&C Electric Company Interview Questions
& Process

The recruiter was a no-show for the initial interview, and we had to reschedule twice. The second time, I was already on the call when they needed to reschedule again. Eventually, I interviewed with the hiring manager and a team member, and then had a final interview with an executive. The executive spoke about driving change, but considering the roles have been open for months, I suspect the company might have decision-making issues or organizational problems.

Applied for this role a while back and got an interview with the hiring manager and team. The interview was really out there, like 'is this actually happening?' The S&C people seemed all over the place and totally clueless, which was surreal for someone with my experience. Didn't get the job, and it's wild that these same people are now VPs and directors. If you're genuinely experienced, they won't even consider you. Honestly, their incompetence just isn't worth it.

The interview process started with a recruiter call, then a meeting with the hiring manager a few days later to discuss the role and my experience. It was a pleasant conversation focused on the company's growth and upcoming workload. About two weeks later, I had a half-day in-person interview with about five managers and engineers. There was some initial confusion with directions upon arrival, but after that, things were well-organized. The interviews themselves varied; some were typical questions, others more conversational. Everyone was friendly and respected my time. Afterwards, the hiring manager gave me a tour, leading to more casual discussion about the company and the role. The process wasn't difficult but was quite tiring. While I put a lot of effort into making a good impression, they didn't seem very invested in selling the role to me, perhaps due to many applicants. About two days after sending thank-you emails with no response, I got an automated rejection email with no explanation. I asked the hiring manager for feedback but still haven't heard back after almost a week. While they didn't make me wait too long, the lack of feedback leaves me rating it as a neutral experience.

The interviewer was rude during the whole third round. They didn't seem interested in my background. I was asked to describe what I knew about the position from the second round with the recruiter, and the response was, "So and so is new, and doesn't really know what they're talking about." The interviewer didn't make me excited to work there, especially since they are higher-level than the first recruiter and are unprofessional, speaking badly about coworkers. The position prefers someone bilingual in English and Spanish. When asked if I spoke Spanish, I mentioned my accreditation and current use of it. I then asked about their ideal candidate, and the response was "Someone who speaks Spanish," even after I said I could speak it. When I asked what they liked about the company and why they stayed, they said only the benefits were good. The interviewer said I'd hear back within the week. Two weeks later, no word. When I followed up, they said it was too early in the process.
