I applied online. I interviewed at Con Edison in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview wasn’t very conversational. They had a list of prepared questions and didn’t really chat much beyond the prepared document they were filling out. Felt a little odd, since after each response they immediately went to typing.

Imagine a scenario in which you are doing research in a chemistry lab, and you notice someone else breaking one of the rules, how would you go about this situation?
The interview process at Con Edison primarily focuses on behavioral questions, where candidates are asked to provide examples of past experiences that demonstrate their skills and competencies.
