I interviewed at Sunrun

Interview

Interview was informal and straight to the point which I enjoyed. They are in the midst of a big hiring push so things were hectic with multiple people waiting to be seen. Questions were simple since performance at this job is purely dependent on work ethic.

Interview

Overall job employment is two percentage points below the long-term average which shifts much of the power in the hiring dynamic to the candidates. Because of this shift in the power dynamic, companies must make sure they put their best foot forward. So how does one make a great first impression? The good news is that it’s not complicated: greet the candidate with a smile, shake their hand, and always remember to be courteous. Of course, in an increasingly mobile work environment many interviews are happening virtually. You’ll just need to adjust by bringing even more energy in order for that welcoming excitement to translate to the screen.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sunrun

Interview

I was contacted by a recruiter for an open role and was excited to speak with the hiring manager, but was really disappointed in my experience. First, there was the last minute cancel and reschedule. Then when I had the meeting it felt like he was looking for reasons not to hire me, before I could even establish my strengths (e.g. looking to understand the end dates of prior roles). I have over 15 years of experience and could have certainly shared stories and ideas that would have benefited the company, but I didn't think he was interested. I got the sense he expects candidates of color (like myself) to be perfect, and was searching for any reason not to give me a job. I know the company has a diversity problem, which they even acknowledge in their Impact Statement. In 2021 they made it a priority to address this issue, only to deprioritize it in 2022 when they didn't make any progress. Ha! They are going to need to replace managers like this one if they are going to make any progress on that front.

Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Sunrun (New Haven, CT) in Jan 2023

Interview

That was the biggest joke interview I ever had. It was not really an interview was 3-4 guys in one interview getting told that everybody in the company makes $500,000-$1 million a year selling solar supposedly.. after they give you their sales pitch everybody's hired right off the bat . No job experience no sales experience. You literally could just walk off the side of the road and get a job here. They're literally desperate for anybody. It's kind of embarrassing for a company that big supposedly that you can make 500,000 year selling solar panels but you have to beg people during the interview to take the job
