Interview
From the outset, I was impressed by the professionalism and clarity of the process. The scheduling was seamless, with prompt communication that ensured I felt well-prepared and informed every step of the way. The interview itself was structured thoughtfully, providing an excellent balance between discussing my qualifications and learning more about the role and the company's culture.
The interviewers were exceptionally warm and engaging, taking the time to explain the expectations for the position, as well as the team's collaborative approach to communication. I appreciated the way they made an effort to connect with me on both a personal and professional level, fostering a welcoming environment that allowed me to showcase my skills and enthusiasm for the role.
What particularly stood out to me was the transparency throughout the process. I was given clear insights into the next steps and what to expect in terms of timeline, which helped alleviate any uncertainty. Additionally, the thoroughness with which they reviewed my experience and qualifications made me feel that they were genuinely interested in understanding how I could contribute to the team.
Overall, I found the interview process at Select (at the time called Select Energy Services) to be not only efficient and well-organized but also respectful and considerate. It reinforced my strong interest in the position and the company, and I am eager to potentially contribute to such a dynamic and forward-thinking team.
Thank you again to the team for the opportunity.

I interviewed at Select Water Solutions (Houston, TX)
Interview
The hiring manager and directors were amazing. Explained the company's and direct teams goals completely and efficiently. We were mutually excited about the offer, but when I received the offer and sent over my counter offer, like everyone does, I was strung along for 3 months to be told my counteroffer was declined and the original accepted offer would be rescinded.. This was decided by the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) after 3 months of her knowing about it and with constant reminders for a decision. Given, as of 4/8/2025, there is a new CTO so I hope they don't have this same practice. It was a huge blow and my recruiter was even stunned.
So, even though I accepted the original offer after the counteroffer was denied 3 months later, my original offer was rescinded by the CTO that also denied the counteroffer.
