I applied in February and I did not hear anything until the end of March. I received an email scheduling me for a pre-screening interview for 30 minutes. After a week of the pre-screening interview I received another email to schedule a 2-3 hours interview. Interview was with HR and 3 engineers and a project manager. I didn’t feel the time in the interview, interviewers were nice and discussed my background and asked questions that are related to the position. Questions were easy and I was interested talking to them about energy technologies and power systems. Just do your homework and read about the company and make sure you love the position that you are applying for!

The interview was one 2 hour interview, split between 4 interviewers. It felt like 4 casual conversations to determine if the job and candidate were a good fit for each other. The first was with HR and was largely about how the interview would go, two were with engineers about the work that would be done, and one was with a high-level employee who oversees branches in the area encompassing this position. There were a few technical questions with one of the engineers, but they were very simple (any student who took any power course should be able to answer them). Most of the questions were about experiences. Much of the time was spent by the interviewers describing the position in detail, helping the candidate ensure the position meets their wants/requirements.
