Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell about a time you had an issue with a co-worker and what did you do
- Interview was not your typical generic questions. But gave an impression that the team is dull and not fun to work with. Interviewers seems to think they work forTesla or some genius brand. Relax guys its just an Energy company with typical number crunching so take it easy. I was hoping it would end before as I already felt I didn't want to be a part of this team within the first 20 minutes or so but ended up wasting one hour.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Direct Energy
Interview
Applied via campus recruiting. Received an interview invitation a week later. In-person interview with one current employee, almost all behavioral questions and brief technical discussion of my previous work.

Question 1
Questions about previous work experiences, conflict management, etc.
Applied online was called shortly after process took standard 1 month. In my opinion Direct Energy needs to re-haul there entire interview process. The interview begins the moment the candidate enters the reception area. If I have a bad experience I will tell 10 other people and those 10 will tell 20 others and this is how the reputation of the company goes down the drain. A structured interview approach is my suggestion where the questions asked to each candidate are the same and don't seem like an interrogation. Based on my interview alone I will never apply here again. Please change the manner in which interviews are conducted, my worst interview in my history of interviews occurred here.

Question 1
Lots of questions why did you leave all your roles, why do you want to work here, well fit is a big deal, any behavioural issues we need to be aware of. It was a rapid fire round thus devaluing the reputation of the organization immediately in my mind.
