Question 1
They ask a lot of questions to get a sense of your ability to be a self-starter and can work with minimum oversight. They will ask questions about ways you've contributed to creating new systems and processes to make your work more efficient.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Breakthrough Energy in Oct 2023
Interview
Professional yet warm, I always felt like I knew where I stood or what was next. It's several rounds (like 5+) so be prepared for a longer process. The Senior Manager of Talent Management who helped me through the process was kind, professional, and clear.
