Had a phone chat with the recruiter, then met the manager and director in person. The whole thing was pretty fast and I felt at ease. They talked about the job, what they wanted to achieve with the role, and how the team and company work together.

Behavioral Technical
Started with a phone interview asking basic questions about my background, experience, and interest in the company. Then, there was a panel interview where I was asked questions related to PG&E's core competencies. Finally, I had a meeting with the director of the department to get a deeper understanding of my technical experience.

Behavioral Other
I applied for another job 4 months ago, but never heard back. About two months ago, a recruiter from PG&E contacted me, mentioning the hiring manager had reviewed my resume. She invited me for an interview. I met with two people, one asking questions and the other taking notes. Although they mentioned a formal process, this team seemed to deviate from it. We had a good discussion. They indicated they were interviewing seven candidates and would provide an update the following week. Towards the end of the week, an HR coordinator reached out about a second interview for a different role (Senior Sourcing Specialist), which I hadn't applied for or seen posted. She provided the job number and confirmed it would be posted soon, scheduling my interview for the next day. Upon arrival, I was unsure of the exact position I was interviewing for, but I met the rest of the team. It turned out they believed it was a follow-up interview for the unapplied-for position. I spoke with the hiring manager, who explained they were changing their plans and wanted me for this specific role instead. The following day, the hiring manager called to offer me the job. I pointed out it hadn't been posted yet, and she advised me to submit my resume once it was live. The job posting took a full week to appear (due to internal issues, apparently). I applied the day it went up, and the day after it closed, HR contacted me with the offer.
