    1. Associate Gas Engineer Interview

      Average Interview
      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at CenterPoint Energy (Minneapolis, MN)

      Interview

      The interview process was a little unclear, people were very nice, managers were friendly and welcoming, questions were fair and not anything out of the ordinary. No technical questions were involved but a lot of diving into the system and how it works which is cool.
      Interview

      They focused on personality and willingness to learn and not so much on technical skills
