First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Southern California Edison.
Financial Analyst
The interview process was straightforward. It started with a phone call, followed by an online interview with a panel of three people. We were sent information about the role and the interviewers beforehand, and their names were included.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Financial Analyst
A recruiter from an outsourced talent acquisition firm reached out to me on LinkedIn about a Senior Financial Analyst role. I felt I was way overqualified for it, as I haven't been an analyst in almost twenty years and have been in VP/CFO level roles for startups for the last seven years. I briefly interacted with the recruiter on LinkedIn to see if they had reviewed my background before sending a generic job description. The recruiter was not forthcoming about salary and remote/hybrid work, which was a brief and frustrating exchange, almost like talking to AI. It seems like the recruiters are just trying to farm resumes to meet quotas, which is a bad look for the company and is typical for lazy recruiters lacking critical thinking.
- Can you tell me the compensation and if the role is remote or hybrid?
- Are you open to a hybrid role where you'd be working onsite in Rosemead, California twice a week?
- If you are willing to accommodate a hybrid role, please send your email so I can provide the full job description, salary, and next steps.
Financial Analyst
The interview process started with a quick phone screen by an SCE recruiter. The following week, I had a group/panel interview with the project manager (who is the hiring manager) and another manager. They asked me STAR/TASK questions and also asked me to define some financial terms. Two days later, I received a call for a second interview with the VP of the department and the hiring managers. In this second interview, they only asked general questions about my career goals and potential start date. I got the offer two days after that.
- In a sentence or two, what is the weighted average cost of capital?
- Which companies are credit rating agencies?
- Can you describe your career goals?
