I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Gas and Electric in May 2012
Interview
Received an email asking when someone from HR could contact me. Followed up with the email and received a reply the following week asking me to come in for an interview two days after that. I was interviewed by two people, each took turns asking me questions. The questions were not very technical, initially they asked about background and what I know about the Gas Industry. Afterwards they continued asking questions in the star format: you and a coworker didn't see eye to eye, how did you come to a conclusion? describe a safety issue and how you remedied it? Couldn't meet a deadline, what did you do? Etc
Thought I did okay but it's been 3 weeks and still no word (annoying but seems like this is common in interviews), I followed up on more than one occasion as well. Good luck!

Interview
Met the recruiters at a career event, very nice and forth going people, they pitch you a position then send you a link. Interview was done online in a strange, to me, fashion. I was asked pre recorded questions and then had to record my responses, i couldn't control the recordings so it still made you think on your feet but the system could be manipulated to re-record what you said infinitely many times which kind of really defeats the purpose of the online part, makes you capable of changing and making up a better answer. The interview could be done in person depending on where you live. Wouldn't call it a great process, but I've seen better.

Question 1
Typical STAR interview, name a situation or task you where assigned to, what you did to address it, and what the results were and what you learned from the experience.
