Energy Analyst interview questions shared by candidates
They seemed put off when they found out. the project I currently work on pays about 2 .5 times what they were offering . I mentioned that I get 0.54 cents per mile to and from work since my company doesn't have a local office to provide me a truck. They say they reimburse gas and pay for oil changes and allow $ 500 per year for tires. I don't know what kind of tires you can get for that price. My F-150 uses tires that start at around $800 a set. Questions led me to believe that this is another bad company trying to find people who are desperate for work . I have worked for at least three contractors who promised such reimbursements , none have ever honored their agreement.

I used a company credit card at the other companies. Often they don't work because someone athe company put the wrong pin in more than once and locked everyone with a company credit card out for sometimes as long as a day. At least that is what these companies claimed when the card was declined. They all say to keep receipts and fax or send photo of bill with your phone for reimbursement. Still waiting on quite a few gas and hotel bills to be paid nearly one year laterin some cases. Less

512 without paint

Question asking how many small cubes without paint on three sides = the answer is 992. The big cube is 10 x 10 x 10. Only the small cubes at the corner (8 corners) get painted on three sides. Rest are either 0, 1, 2 sides painted. In sum, 1000 - 8 = 992 small cubes have less than 3 sides painted. Less

I had every qualification they where looking for in terms of energy storage expertise and simulation ability other than mastery of machine learning. They still did not give me even the 3rd level of interview. Less
