I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SolarCity (Salt Lake City, UT) in Oct 2015
Interview
Brief. Did not look at my work. Interviewed by two women who seemed in a hurry to get interview over. Not clear on when they planned to make a decision. Focused on my process for creating eLearning and not on my experience or quality of work.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SolarCity (Antelope, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
The screening interview was thorough with it feeling more like a sales presentation for the company. The recruiter was excellent; he even persuaded me that the great company possibilities might be worth starting FAR below standard salaries for ID position.
The 2nd interview was video / phone. It was a thorough exploration of experience, education, and abilities as relates to this job. Interviewer was very encouraging; she even said she thought I'd fit right in with the team.
The 3rd interview showed discrepancies in job description and company situation from 2nd. Two interviewers ( women who worked their way up in the company, but seemed to understand little about how an ID team works) with routine questions. One appeared to be a bit dismissive of research-based ID principles. Their promise to let me know by that Friday was not kept; I did not hear anything for a full month when I received a standardized email saying they chose another candidate. A few days later the same job was reposted. No surprise. No, thank you.
This validated the worrisome reviews that are on Glassdoor; be sure to read and heed them.
The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at SolarCity
Interview
Reached out by a nice internal recruiter after applying online. Once they told me the salary for the position, I decided not to pursue the job. The salary was at least $10,000 below market value! After I declined to move further in the process, I was called again by someone who told me how amazing the job would be and that money shouldn't be a determining factor. The person I talked with was incredibly pushy. Once I gave in to meeting for a more formal interview, they refused to arrange an appointment. It was bizarre and unprofessional. Seemed like they were trying to meet a quota on how many people they could bring in to an interview.
