      Anonymous employee
      Birmingham, AL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Southern Company (Birmingham, AL) in May 2016

      Interview

      Small panel, basic technical/behavioral/person experiences; relatively laid back. Felt more like conversation among panel members as opposed to a "grilling." Quick 30 minutes, in and out. Be prepared with prior work experiences and how you overcame conflict and how well you are able to communicate to external parties.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you handle a personal conflict at work
