Question 1

-Why should we hire you?
I applied online. I interviewed at CenterPoint Energy
Interview
It was like a group interview that consists of four people. You sit at a table and they take turns asking questions. You get asked about 5-6 questions with about half of them being technical. This interview was years ago, so I am not sure how things may have changed since the pandemic.
Very casual but informative. Eager to tell you about the company and the opportunities there. Made you feel very comfortable and encouraged questions. They seemed very interested in getting to know you.
