Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chattanooga, TN (took a day)
After meeting a recruiter at a career fair, the TVA managers were interested in interviewing me and gave me the opportunity to come to Chattanooga, TN. The interview was a 4 person panel interview. It was professional but not stressful. Very nice interviewers. Consisted of a few technical questions that any good electrical engineer should know.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 months)
I had actually talked with one of the managers at this plant about doing a transfer in my current position and had told him I applied for one of their managers jobs which he promptly told me I would not get that job because they had already decided to promote someone at that plant. I found that odd being a government job. But I was suprised and got an interview. It went well but i do feel it was probably a waist of time.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Chattanooga, TN (took 4+ weeks)
TVA HR was slow in getting the ball rolling but, eventually, I was flown in for an interview. The planning for the actual interview was very poor. I was told the interview time and little else. Taking me out to lunch would have made sense. It would have made better use of their time and my time. Interviewers made no effort to sell me on themselves or the organization. They had plenty of positive things to say about Chattanooga. They needed to fill several slots and indicated that I would be assigned the least desirable slot. Interview was informal and conversational. However, interviewers did not bring in other staff to provide a better flavor for organization.

Reason for Declining
Offer was very good on salary, benefits and relocation package. However, TVA is under a salary freeze so future years might not see any increase in salary. Organization was governmental. Been there so I knew what to expect. More pros than cons in my ultimate opinion. It was a good offer and would have been a decent organization to work for. Kicker was really Chattanooga and lack of family or connections there. It was tough to turn down offer.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Chattanooga, TN (took 2 weeks)
The process begin when a recruiter speaks contact via phone and email. The people in charge were very informative . I had to reschedule my interview AND request a phone interview both of which they agreed to do to cut down on the travelling that I would have to undertake. The process was very intriguing and much like interviewing with a large governmental position.
