This was the most laborious interview process I have ever participated in. A total of EIGHT interviews until I was finally rejected. The high quantity of interviews indicates to me that the hiring manager has difficulty making decisions and that he/she had to continue to seek the guidance from his/her colleagues and superiors. When posed with actual business questions about the stability of the industry and the company itself, the answers were like watching people trying to tap dance along the road. I never once got a straight answer of how they were going to accomplish their 10-year goal of being the largest energy provider in the US. I just got a lot of, "Yeah, that's where we want to be...isn't that great!" They have absolutely no plan of attack to reach that goal. It sounds good, and to someone who is willing to just take any answer at face value, I guess that will suffice. I even asked some "softball" questions to some of the people who interviewed me and I couldn't get a straight answer. Example: "When you wake up on Monday morning, what do you look forward to the most at SunRun." No one could answer that one with a concrete answer.
They will try to show you how upbeat and positive everyone is, which is great, but let's face it, businesses are successful when businesses actually do business. Song and dance and the Monday cheer sessions don't add to the good side of the balance sheet.
If you want a job here, all you have to do is be a cheerleader, bob your head a lot and smile. Qualifications do not weigh as heavily here as does your blind faith to what they're telling you. Remember, act like a Labrador Retriever anticipating someone about to throw his ball. Open your eyes really wide, get all jumpy and excited...Act like they have a solid idea of what they're doing and you're sure to get an offer.

The interview was a standard interview. However, I did have it via phone with two people which could make the conversation challenging at times. Although the interview appeared to go well and there was consistent banter back and forth, it seem the company is having some internal struggles with growing pains. The interviewers told me about this and then when I called about the position, which I was never notified on, my recruiter told me the company merged different positions so that was no longer a job within the company. Additionally, they haven't updated any of this information on the website for 6 months. I tried to follow up to get another position because I thought the company would be a good match and I was understanding of resolving some issues with growth, but leaving the same position available on the site when it's not even a real job anymore made me stray away from trying again.

Was contacted off LinkedIn by recruiter - I wasn't even looking for a job. Position sounded intriguing so met with key leader on first virtual interview and was well-addressed and questions were appropriate and did a good job of "selling" the role. Secondary with a key member of current team and that one felt more "checklisty" and lacked real connection - felt like it was just "tell me about a time"...but they didn't actually care about the answers as they just went to the next one quickly. Last interview was very productive as it was a key leader of the role and was more in-depth and to the point with details and felt really pursued and needed at that point.

Quick response to the application which turns out that they had basically 1 or 2 days to hire the requisite folks with their extensive 10 day background process. I was told mid interview that the hiring manager was busy and I didn't need to talk to them and was walked out. The team lead who interviewed me was sick and couldn't have cared less about the process. Easily the worst interview process in my 32 year career. I can't emphasize this enough.... this is the most basic call center job of all time with your time micromanaged and each person I saw there working looked as if it was a death sentence. Avoid at all costs. My "ding" letter said they found one person who was better than me.. they were hiring 17 people. A total joke. Again, avoid.

Every question was the most generic "Tell us about a time" question that you've ever heard in this situation. The team lead entering the information had the interest of a clown at a mime convention.
