Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at NRG Energy
This was several years ago, but there were several back to back interviews - 4 in one day. I recall requests for me to draw excel functions on a whiteboard, recite formulas from memory, use those formulas to solve problems, and give my perspective on the renewables industry. Felt like a university exam.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at NRG Energy in Jul 2022
HR left a voicemail for me at 6:30pm to call them back about the position I applied for. HR left a different number than the one that I was called from. Since it was late, I tried calling the next day. The number HR left was for a completely different person, but I left a message anyway. Later in the day, I tried the number I was called from, but the voicemail of HR was full and you could only send an SMS number. They never called back. I tried two more times with no return response, except a butt dial at 9:30pm with an immediate hang-up. Decided at this point if HR was so inept, it did not bode well for the company. I was never able to schedule an interview for the position they called me about.

Great experience. They ask many technique questions about SQL. As well, ask some behavior questions about teamwork. Generally, the questions are not tough, but for the tech part, they need to prepare and understand your past work deeply.
