I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Los Angeles Water and Power (Irvine, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Two in person interviews, one on campus and one at LADWP offices (pre pandemic).
The interviewers were pretty friendly. The first interview was geared more towards basic technical things you know about power and general behavioral questions. There was about 3 months between the first and second interview. The second interview actually had technical questions and circuit diagrams.

Interview
Long waiting times before and between my two interviews. First interview was remote, and with a panel of two Senior Engineers asking basic questions. Second panel is, yet again, a panel of Senior Engineers, that gets more involved in experience.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Los Angeles Water and Power in Nov 2024
Interview
Remote interview with 2 senior engineers. Very formal interview that was more of an exam. There were no follow-up questions; as soon as I answered a question, they moved on to the next one. A couple of months after the interview, they give you a score and add you to a list of candidates.
