I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Entergy (Ruston, LA)
Interview
Spoke to one of the recruiters at a Career Fair at my university. Set up a one-on-one interview to take place in the Career Center at the university on the following day. Lasted roughly 30-45 minutes. This interview was more of an informal conversation rather than a stuffy, formal, or structured questioning. The recruiter was an Engineer representing the Hiring Manager at the time. He began explaining the specifics of the job, as well as his impressions of the people and atmosphere of the office (all positive). The questions were geared mostly toward items on my resume, as well as personal life and interests.
About two weeks later I received a phone call from the same recruiter saying that his manager would like to formally interview me at the location of the prospective job (3 hours away). My gas and hotel expenses would be reimbursed. I agreed.
The day of the interview, I met with the Hiring Manager, a supervisor in her group, as well as the recruiter. She asked some more formal questions, but mostly just wanted to get to know me as a person. They took me to lunch at a nice restaurant, toured me around the facility, and let me sit with some Engineers to see what the day-to-day was like. I accepted the position and scheduled my start date on the spot. It was a great experience!

I applied online. I interviewed at Entergy (Birmingham, AL) in June 2026
Interview
I interviewed for the Relay Settings & Configuration Engineer entry level position. The process consisted of a single panel interview with three interviewers, including supervisors and a relay settings engineer.
The interview was focused entirely on behavioral questions, covering topics such as managing customer expectations, adapting to change, handling constructive feedback, solving problems, and helping or mentoring coworkers. The questions were based on real work situations and gave me the opportunity to discuss experiences from previous roles.
The interviewers were professional, friendly, and easy to talk to, which helped create a comfortable atmosphere throughout the interview. The conversation felt structured and relevant to the responsibilities of the position.
At the end of the interview, I was informed that this was the only interview round and that I should expect an update within about two weeks.
Overall, it was a straightforward and well-organized interview process that focused on understanding how candidates approach workplace challenges, teamwork, and customer service.

Interviewed with the supervisor and manager and separately had lunch with the team. all behavioral questions. they had the mindset that if you have the right personality to match our team we can teach you the job and it made me comfortable.
Good folks. Standardized questions. Very helpful. I could see myself working there. Take a look at what they offer. Location is a plus for me. Allow hybrid work depending on the role.
