I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Con Edison (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
I was contacted by a HR recruiter via email and setup a phone interview. The phone interview was with the department supervisor. Overall there were the basic questions, "Tell me a time where you demonstrated leadership?", etc... After about a month I was called in for a drug test and a few weeks attended orientation.

The Con Edison interview process can be tough. The process is long as there are multiple rounds of interviews. Additionally, there are long wait times to hear back from hiring managers. There is also an expectation to have a great deal of knowledge even in entry level positions.
