I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Southern Company (Anaheim, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Round robin style type interview. Three people asking questions at I once and waiting on response. Very nice environment. Very calm. Everyone had a copy of resume. So know your resume well.
They only have a final round interview, and they basically ask only behavioral questions in a panel interview through WebEx. The process was simple and easy; it takes a few days to get a hearing back.
