***Understand that it is very difficult to break into SCE. They do not necessarily hire based on the most qualified candidate. They have many internal candidates that compete for open positions, and no doubt SCE leadership is plagued by internal politics and biases when they hire.***
This was my second time interviewing with SCE. Once you get past the recruiter screening call and a possible personality test online, you will interview with a panel of 3 senior managers on Teams. You will be asked 5-6 multipart situational questions. These questions are generic so that they don't relate to anything specific about the position. You must make them relatable to the position based on your understanding of the job description.
Take your time digesting and answering the questions. They all start to sound the same. Prepare a week in advance by creating a spreadsheet with 15-20 situational questions and write out your answers based on START: Situation, Task, Action, Result. DO NOT DEVIATE!
Those interviewing you are required to be poker faced.
3 weeks later I got another generic rejection email. This one hurt badly because I felt like I did exceptionally well during the interview. I was also highly qualified (maybe too qualified?).
I am done applying to SCE after this experience. *sigh*
