Application
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NRG Energy (Houston, TX) in Jan 2016
Interview
Phone interview with senior manager --> going through resume, he asked me questions based on resume and basic technical questions about internal controls. I have to submit an assignment after the interview, and they called me for in-person interview in two weeks, with the senior manager and director.
My experience was apparently an outlier. I went to the NRG booth at my uni’s career fair, they weren’t advertising for the role but I hit it off with the recruiter. She starred my resume and sent it directly to the lead recruiter in NJ. I didn’t find out until later that I bypassed the “first screening” which is a phone interview. They scheduled me to do 2 interviews on-site. I thought I had bombed my interview because they asked quite a few “prodding” questions and I didn’t really know the answer to some of them. The best advice I can give is to BE HONEST, if you’re lying in your resume or during your interview they’ll find out and that’s how you not get the offer. After that interview the lead recruiter from NJ sends an email about how you’ll be hearing back in a week or so. The next email I received was for a phone call with the recruiter and was extended an offer.
