I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SolarCity (San Mateo, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
I began with a phone screen with Alex that was very informative. He provided me a lot of information and background to the position along with letting me ask any questions I had. In this screen alone he set very clear expectations of the role what to expect for interview process.
Next was another phone screen with the manager I would report to. It was really to get a sense of the type of person i was and how i would fit in with the role. It felt very welcoming to go over the type of worker I am and see if this was a good fit.
After the 2 phone screens I had 3 in-person interviews back to back with other managers in the department I would work for. All interviews are nerve wrecking of course and this definitely made me nervous, but after all 3 interviews I truly felt what the team was like and how it would be to be apart of it. I understood the role and what the demands were of position. I have never left an interview feeling like i was already apart of the team already or felt more welcome to join before this. Everyone was extremely pleasant.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SolarCity (San Mateo, CA)
Interview
I had to interview with 10 different people.
It was not seamless and seemed disorganized. Did not follow up or ask about the interview process. Any recruiter knows go follow up, regardless of the outcome.
