I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Westinghouse in Feb 2024
Interview
I messaged the hiring manager on LinkedIn and he referred me to the recruiter. I talked to the recruiter first for about 30 minutes then set up an interview with the hiring manager and 2 other members of the team. Great interview with mostly questions about my background and allowed me to ask a lot of questions I had about the position.

Interview
Interview was by phone/video chat. It was very easy and the process went smoothly. I think if they call you, they want to hire you unless you absolutely bomb the interview.
