I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Aurora Energy Research (Austin, TX) in Jan 2025
Interview
Interviewed at Aurora Energy on Jan 13, 2025. The whole process took about four months (from October to January). The graduate program timeline was clear, and there were instructions and a detailed plan before and after every round.
The application started with a virtual assessment on the SHL platform, which included personality tests and some quick capability quizzes to test reasoning and logic. Then, shortlisted candidates proceeded to the first round with a senior analyst at the company. This typically involved a consulting-style market sizing question and one or two behavioral questions within a 30-minute timeframe.
After that, the final rounds included a take-home assessment that you had to complete, usually in the form of a "client-ready" presentation. The final stage consisted of two back-to-back interviews—one dedicated to the presentation you had prepared and another focused mainly on behavioral questions along with a similar consulting-style case question. Candidates were expected to hear back within two weeks.

There were 5 minutes left for any questions from the interviewee's perspective. Duration: 45 minutes.
