US Green Building Council Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was well-structured, starting with an HR call, then a chat with the hiring manager, followed by a group peer interview, and concluding with a meeting with the department head. The team demonstrated excellent organization and communication throughout. The interviewers focused on my resume and asked about my experience with tasks relevant to the role.

had first call with HR, she seemed very interested in me. Two weeks later with the hiring manager, who was basically asking questions off a script. I told both interviewers that I had a time limit for accepting offers. Was told that from begging to offer it could take 1 month, It's been almost two, and I still haven't gotten an email informing me whether I passed to the last round or not. I am already working somewhere else, glad I didn't end up working with them.

The interview process started really well with HR screening, then a second screening interview which was a bit unusual. After that, I had an in-person interview with the SVP of Technical Solutions, who is the hiring manager, followed by a panel interview, which seemed like the final stage. I let HR know I had another offer and asked about their timeline. They said they'd be in touch. A few days later, they requested references, which I got done quickly. However, after the references, HR went completely silent. I followed up, and they said they'd respond on Monday, but nothing happened. At that point, I realized how unprofessional they were and decided to go with the other offer. I informed them, and again, no response.

If selected, you'll first meet with some senior team members, including a senior director and technical manager. If that goes well, you'll get a take-home LEED review exercise to show your LEED knowledge. After that, you'll have another interview with team members, like the technical manager and a volume program manager, to discuss your choices on the exercise. A big issue was the lack of respect for my time; I spent 6 hours on the exercise and interviews, and got no follow-up or even a thank you. I reached out myself later with no reply. I was also told not having a LEED certification wasn't a big deal and that I'd hear back within a few days, neither of which was true. More upfront honesty would have saved me time and effort. I wouldn't accept an offer from this company, even with a significant pay increase, because how they treat people and their time shows how you'd likely be treated in the role.
