What did you like most about the interview process?
The relaxed environment during the interview
the interesting business operations ongoing
some collegiality and interesting technology
If you are interviewing with HR, don't be discouraged, they are difficult for everyone.
They asked the right questions to assess whether or not I was right for the job I applied for, and they were friendly and nice
Review from Customer Support Dept
i was a contractor prior so I knew those doing the interview and they knew me.
Only one round of interviews, then a decision was made within about a week.
They respected me and seemed excited about opportunities.
They were all very straight-forward.

Review from Customer Support Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Hiring decisions should be based on competence. Hiring managers openly admit to trying to hire famil members diring interviews. The interview process at Xcel is a sham. They make hiring decisions based on who you know rather than how well you interview or any other objective measure of skill.
They ask the same questions for every interview, but they gage whether you do the S.T.A.R method of answering the questions to be way more important that the actual answer or if the response answers the question at all.
