I interviewed at Energix Renewables (Arlington, VA)
Interview
Initial interview was easy, I found it awkward they asked about willingness to visit Israel as I was interviewing for a position in the U.S.A. When I was invited for an in person interview I met with multiple people and the schedule ended up being shifted around and changed last minute. I left this interview feeling insulted.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Energix Renewables (Arlington, VA) in Feb 2022
Interview
First step: HR called for a quick phone screen and it took 30 mins

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I met with Mr. Levinger, the CEO. I found several aspects of the experience concerning. There was a strong emphasis on willingness to work 60+ hours per week, framed more around eagerness than outcomes. There were also assumptions made about my religious background based on my country of origin, which came across as inappropriate and, frankly, felt biased. In addition, the conversation was at times steered toward political topics that were not relevant to the role or the purpose of the meeting. I was also asked a basic math question, “what is one-third of seventeen,” in a tone that felt dismissive. They also had minor conversation about me in Hebrew when we were all there, which I found it disrespectful.
Separately, I traveled to Arlington from another side of the country at their request for the in-person interview, with the understanding that travel expenses would be covered. After the interview, there appeared to be reluctance to reimburse those costs, which was unexpected and not aligned with standard professional practice.
Overall, the experience did not reflect the level of professionalism and mutual respect I would expect.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Energix Renewables (Arlington, VA) in Sept 2025
Interview
The interview process was easy. I first had a phone call with the Director who was very easy to talk to, then was asked for an in-person interview in Arlington, VA. I met with the Director and the COO of the company. We talked about my history in renewables and all the opportunities for work that the business has. I received an offer via email and was able to talk to the director about the questions I had.
