I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Southern California Edison in Nov 2022
Interview
Took a personality assessment in which you could only agree or slightly agree to selections. Instead of being asked just one questions you’re have two questions paired against one another. For example you could be asked to agree/slightly agree with the options of not liking to work in groups or lacking confidence. You’d have to choose which one you agree with. I’ve interviewed with multiple engineering companies and never felt so pointlessly analyzed. I failed and have to wait 6 months to apply to any positions that require this test. I implore you all to research as much as you can if you really want to work here. Even if you think you’re ready for this assessment you’re not.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Comparing two things and having to choose between the two like “I have a temper” and “I don’t like working in groups”. You have to pick which you agree with more, can’t be neutral, can’t disagree. Yes I know, good luck.
Phone screening and virtual interview, nothing out of the ordinary. Waited a couple weeks to hear back and was provided an offer. The screening did not ask any particular question. More so to schedule the interview. the interview itself was with a panel of three people. All behavioral questions and about the job listing.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Southern California Edison (Irvine, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Campus interview screening before an invite for site interview. The interview asked lengthy behavior questions. I was thrown off by how long these questions were. After the interview, I knew I didn't do well and asked for some advice. They suggested that in the future, I should write down some notes so I don't forget the questions I'm being asked.
