It was a quick and efficient hiring process. I had two interviews: the first was with a recruiter, and the second, a panel interview with the entire team, happened three days later and lasted about an hour. They mainly asked behavioral questions and about my past projects listed on my resume. I got an offer about a week after the final interview.

I had a phone screen about a month after applying. Then, I set up an in-person interview for a month after that. I never heard back from PG&E about an offer or no offer, but I discovered I didn't get it when I checked my applicant account status. About 3 weeks after my interview, I saw there was no offer. It was pretty annoying to find out that way. The interview itself was really long, about 2 hours. They wanted me to bring in code to go over with some of the team members, who all seemed really nice, smart, and thoughtful. The interview was mostly me explaining my code, my background, and answering some situational questions.
