I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Electric Power (Columbus, OH) in May 2019
Interview
I did a phone interview that wouldn't even hold up on a blind dating show. It was worthless.
I was then paraded into a phone call with six people. All of them were at different locations and the call was only setup for 30 minutes. They were late to my call and their questions, again, wouldn't have differentiated anyone for any position.
The whole process was very deflating. They obviously had no real experience interviewing people or at least had never put two and two together that identify that they weren't good at it.
I was called for a third interview but declined. It was clear that this was not a group of people I wanted to work with or for.

Interview
The recruiter was quick to reach out and very responsive. All interview rounds were scheduled fairly quickly over the course of a month. Everyone was friendly and professional and all questions were relevant to the position. In the end I was not selected and I did have to follow up myself to find that out, so that is one pitfall in the process. Otherwise a good interview process.
