Interview
I filled out an application on Zip Recruiter and was contacted one week later. I was phone screened and did a basic first level interview and they requested an in-person interview. They made me aware they wanted to fill positions as soon as possible because of their rapid growth. I went to my in-person interview the week following. I was interviewed by two supervisors for 45 minutes. It was a relaxed and calm atmosphere. The interviewers were happy, nice and very friendly. There were several standard and simple questions asked: tell me about yourself, what do you know about Sunrun and solar, how does your experience apply to this role, why do you want to work here, what sets you apart, etcetera. I was happy with the overall experience. I was called back two days later by the recruiter and given an offer.

Interview
Submitted my resume and a recruiter contacted me a week later. First interview was a quick 15 min phone call with the recruiter that was very informational. Then had a 45 minute video interview with the hiring manager. (mine was just one person but I've heard others were interviewed by multiple hiring managers at once). Hiring manager went through a list of very generic interview questions and then gave me time to ask my own questions. They are really looking for people that have a positive attitude and believe that solar is changing the world. Hiring managers are all very casual and friendly in the Project Coordination department so it didn't feel stressful.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, how do you unwind from stressful situations, tell me about a time you overcame an obstacle at work, talk about your communication style, what sets you apart from other candidates?
Quick and easy interview process. They ask the same questions repeatedly in different forms, and it's pretty exhausting finding different ways to tell the same story. They've got a pretty standard interview format, and they'll ask those typical hard questions about your previous employment responsibilities and how you handled them.

Interview
Shortly after applying via Indeed, I received an email from a hiring manager. We set up a time later in the week as my schedule was pretty full. We confirmed the time and went ahead with my week.
Come the time for the interview, I received a call a few minutes late. I was immediately told that the positions have already been filled. Basically, their process was phone interview and an immediate offer, rather than going through all of their approved applicants.
In an instance like this, where there is no job to be offered, a simple email would have been much more appropriate and professional.
Based on the reviews that I now see, I guess that this is just par for the course for this company. I should have looked at the reviews before sending them my resume.
