I applied online. I interviewed at Xcel Energy (Lubbock, TX) in Nov 2025
Interview
Very simple interview with the usual behavioral questions. Took a while to hear back despite my interview being “very good”. Still did not receive the offer. Very respectful people but a competitive company.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked with someone different than you.
Straight forward, moderate-hard. It was a formal interview, about 8 questions, two people interviewing and taking turns. I felt confident but the selection process is really hard, didn't get selected.

The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Xcel Energy in Jun 2009
Interview
The first interview was via phone. I believe the top 5 to 10 resumes were selected and then phone interviewed. From there 2 were selected for face to face interview. I was required to explain what I saw on engineering drawing of a power plant.
