Intern at Southern California Edison
No Offer – Reviewed Apr 29, 2013
Interview Details Applying online was relatively painless and received a phone screen one day after applying online... I was told that selected candidates would receive a call within two weeks for an interview. I never got a call back, but the online application still says that the job status is active and still accepting applications, so I slightly feel in the dark about whether I'm still a contender or not.... I would appreciate a call/email back stating that I wasn't selected if that's the case.
Interview Question – None, the phone screen was just asking for more clarifications on the resume you submit... very relaxed screening. Answer Question

Project Manager at Southern California Edison
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Rosemead, CA (US) – Reviewed Oct 18, 2012
Interview Details The hiring process was okay. The lady that talked to me on the phone was nice and polite. We did some back-and-forth for salary and hiring bonus, which I got most of what I wanted. The interview was VERY long and the questions were really convaluded. By the time they were done asking the question, I had to ask them to repeat and take notes on it.
Interview Question – The hardest question was difficult because it limited my response to a specific type of experience, along with being multi-part; it had to do with being a member of a team to accomplish a project in which team members disagreed on the product. View Answer
