Hi,I just went through the interview process at Constellation Energy in London.It was three phone screenings + onsite interview (11 hours in a row). I did'nt get the job.As far as the phone screening, they were all about 1hour and half: statistics, stochastic calculus and a lot of brainteasers.Try to review heard on the street.good luck

So, that is a pretty expensive interview, from my point of view.I know that the senior positions drag on, but for an entry I hope you have high hopes for you wallet on this.

if you mean expensive moneywise, well the reimbursement was quick and generous, I have to say.I had never heard of a company paying for hookers (just kidding)!In terms of time, well it was tough. Also, the rejection email came after four weeks, which was'nt great considering that we were under xmas period.
