I applied online. I interviewed at Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (Austin, TX)
Interview
Very strange interview. Two very nice interviewers, but they had a policy where I couldn’t ask for clarity on questions or for something to be explained before I answered. They could only repeat the entirety of the question (which usually contained about 3 questions inside one), they wouldn’t even repeat a part of the question. Was asked 5 questions about federal and state permits and couldn’t look at any notes. There was also a written portion; I was given 30 minutes to answer a prompt about soil mine permitting.

Interview
The interview was remote and the process felt pretty smooth. It did take a few weeks to hear back after the first interview, but that was on me for not asking about a timeline. I felt like the interview was pretty typical and not technical at all. They focused more on my problem-solving process and how I would handle certain vague scenarios rather than asking about specific policies.
