Glassdoor users rated their interview experience at WattTime as 33.3% positive with a difficulty rating score of 2.73 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty). Candidates interviewing for Operations Manager and Software Engineer rated their interviews as the hardest, whereas interviews for Senior Business Associate and Analyst roles were rated as the easiest.
The hiring process at WattTime takes an average of 37 days when considering 15 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Senior Machine Learning Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 17 days), whereas Partnerships Manager roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 74 days).
They’re hiring for senior analyst positions that involve coding and working with GIS data, but the HR rep was completely clueless. They couldn’t provide any useful information about the role and instead asked irrelevant questions about pivot tables—something any idiot can use and clearly unrelated to the job.
With this level of professionalism, I honestly don’t see how this company has any future besides bankruptcy.

Interview
Very long interview process. Made it to final round. Seemed like a lot of people still in the pipeline. Inefficient. At one point, there is an assignment. The final round was with the CEO and it was odd experience.

Question 1
Mostly asked about relationship management experience and did not dig into business development or sales side of the role.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WattTime in May 2024
Interview
Phone screen with HR and then with one of the "partners." Pretty simple stuff.
Until the hey... we'd like you to answer some questions in written format. But don't worry worry "We have heard stories of organizations that just take assignments like these and use them for the organization’s benefit. We don’t do that. If we do see a great insight, we’ll reach out to talk about it." That should have triggered my Spidey senses, but hey... you do what you do.
Answered the questions, They took about a week or so to respond that we're not moving forward.
