I applied online. I interviewed at PacifiCorp (Portland, OR) in Feb 2026
Interview
Online application, phone screen and onsite interview. I was supposed to hear back if they want to move forward with background checks, etc after one week of the final interview but I never got that email. I had to chase down the hiring manager and regularly check the portal to see any updates. Understandably, the company was going through assets sale so it was lost in translation. Moving forward, I hope the company as a whole would be considered of the candidates of their time. This interview process took 2 months. This is very rare for the finance / accounting department. I’m going a neutral rating because the direct hiring manager was kind throughout this entire process.
The interview was basic. There were 5 engineers, each with different expertise. The questions were mostly related to my prior work/ project experience and the basics of transformers and how they are essential in distributing electricity.
