I applied in-person. I interviewed at California ISO (Folsom, CA) in Dec 2019
Interview
I was a contractor at CAISO and applied online and talked to the manager and HR in person and got an interview 2 weeks after applying. The panel interview was one hour long and it was all technical.
Because the questions were hard, after the interview I asked a few managers and lead engineers the same questions and they didn't know the answers either.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. What is your experience with mixed-integer linear programming?
2. Explain and compare different types of ancillary services in DAM.
3. Why is there Pmin constraint for a thermal generator?
4. What are some techniques for mitigating congestion in transmission lines?
5. What is your experience with data analysis.
