I applied online. I interviewed at SunPower in Oct 2020
Interview
Extremely detailed, multi-step process. Includes an excel test that you must complete within 24 hours (this was emailed to me on a Friday afternoon, so anticipate very quick turn around times. After completing 6 interviews with Sunpower, I was completely ghosted. Its clear that the one recruiter for this large company is VERY overworked (I was receiving emails at odd hours + weekends) so I understand not having a lot of capacity for candidates you decide to not move forward with, but after 6 separate interviews I found this to be pretty unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly scenario questions - ex. describe when you had a conflict with a coworker, if you have 10 hours of work to complete and only have 8 hours to do it how do you complete it, describe why you think the solar industry is expanding.

Interview
The interview process is as straightforward as it gets these days. Applied via LinkedIn, received an email from a recruiter the next day. Filled in a basic candidate questionnaire, filled in a ton of basic questions and case study forms. After the last moment reschedule, the initial screening call was just a "hi, I'm driving now, but we still can talk about the position, what is your interest? etc." After the conversation you are supposed to get scheduled for the second round of interviews with the office staff. Mine was supposed to be scheduled in the nearest future; however, it actually never happened. I tried following up and didn't get an actual update from a recruiter, just another "Let me see, I'll let you know" *GHOSTED, WASTE OF TIME*

It was a rigorous process. They ask you what is your passion. Do you believe in solar energy. What do you believe in. What made you choose SunPower. Why did you choose the solar business

Interview
The second interview was very impersonal. There was one question I was asked that almost felt like a quiz on memorization. I was interviewed by two women who had no enthusiasm for SunPower. It all almost seemed very rehearsed.
