I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Southern California Edison (Rosemead, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online and received an email for testing. I studied the required practice tests-spelling/grammer, sorting/classification and math. There was about 15 attending for the test. I received an email that same day which said I "failed" the test. I inquired by email what my test score was and they responded that THEY DO NOT DISCLOSE the test scores. One thing I did do was fill out an optional questionair which asked for my date of birth. I am 61 and do not look it. I've also worked for top Executives and doubt that I failed the test. I have spoken to others that have had the same experience and this seems to be a pattern. There is definately age discrimination going on here. I know I did well on the test. Read the interveiw reviews, most seem to be just out of college. Hmm.

Interview
Online application, then an online test and if you pass that you will be invited to an in-person test. The in-person test is in a very inconvenient location and a total waste of time. You never hear back from HR...Don't even bother!
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Southern California Edison (Rosemead, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Once the job was posted online, I submitted my online application. My resume was reviewed by Talent Acquisition and I was called in for testing. There were various skills to test for including grammar, math problems, Word and Excel. Once I passed the tests, I was called into my first interview. A couple of weeks later I was called into a second interview. The job was broken down in some detail to me by the executives to make sure I was truly willing to take on such a challenge. I agreed I was ready and was finally contacted by HR a week or two later with an offer. I accepted and the rest is history.
