What interviewers actually evaluate

Decision-Making, Team Development & Strategic Thinking

PG&E leadership interviews assess candidates on their ability to make informed decisions, foster team collaboration, and think strategically. Successful candidates demonstrate a clear understanding of how their decisions impact the organization and its stakeholders.

  • Clarity of reasoning
  • Personal accountability
  • Cross-functional influence
  • Vision articulation
  • Team development
  • Strategic alignment

What gets scored in every session

Specific, sentence-level feedback.

Dimension What it measures How to answer
Decision Framework Do you articulate how you made the decision, not just what you decided? We score clarity of reasoning, criteria used, and how you handled conflicting inputs. Explicit criteria, trade-off acknowledgment
Accountability Signal Do you own outcomes, including failures? We flag answers that attribute success to the team without claiming personal strategic contribution. Personal ownership of decision and outcome
Influence Architecture How did you move people who didn't report to you? We evaluate whether you relied on authority or persuasion. Cross-functional alignment, non-authority-based influence
Vision Clarity Can you articulate a future state clearly enough that someone else could execute it? We score whether strategic thinking is concrete or abstract. Concrete vision language, measurable direction

How a session works

Step 1: Get your PG&E Leadership question

You are assigned questions based on where candidates for this role typically struggle most. Each session starts fresh with a new question targeting a different evaluation dimension.

Step 2: Answer by voice

Speak your answer as you would in a real interview. The AI listens for STAR structure and evaluation dimension signals in real time as you speak.

Step 3: Get scored dimension by dimension

Instant scores across all four rubric dimensions. Each gets a score, a flagged weakness, and a specific sentence-level fix, not 'be more specific' but which sentence to rewrite and why.

Step 4: Re-answer and track improvement

Revise based on feedback and answer again. See the before/after score change. Your weakness profile updates across sessions so practice becomes more targeted over time.
