Interview
I applied online for an associate engineer position. After a few weeks I was sent a link to the pre-hire assessment test. It was a series of multiple choice questions that asked how you would react in given scenarios involving, projects, clients, colleagues, subordinates as well as project management strategies. Since it was an entry level position I thought it would just be a gauge of my experience, but apparently I have precluded myself from the position and from applying again for a year. I personally thought I was a good fit for the position and could learn the skills they wanted, and I think they lost out on a good candidate with an arbitrary personality screening. But that's just my 2 cents, maybe the test revealed that I'm an undesirable psychopath or something.

Question 1
A series of multiple choice questions that asked how you would react in given scenarios involving, projects, clients, colleagues, subordinates as well as project management strategies.
I applied online. I interviewed at DTE Energy (Detroit, MI) in Jan 2024
Interview
Phone screening first than a interview. It was a panel of 3 people and they took turns on asking you STAR behavioral questions in which you're scored on how well you follow the STAR format. I would say if you took all the engineering STAR questions on this website and practiced most of them you should be good.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DTE Energy (Detroit, MI) in Nov 2023
Interview
Simple interview with minimal to no technical questions. Use the STAR method to answer behavioral questions. The interview didn't take more than an hour and was virtual. Did not get an offer.

Question 1
Describe a time where a colleague kept information from you and what you did to obtain it.
Very informative! My interviewee described the culture in great detail, the difference between plants which at the moment is gas pipeline and electric, and the progress of change within the company.
