I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Solar Turbines (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Did a phone call with a recruiter and an in person panel interview. The engineering team was present as well as HR. The questions from HR were more difficult just because they weren't engineering questions. The HR questions were more about working as a team.

1 phone call screening either with the hiring manager or with the recruiter, then 1 interview with 3 STAR questions and that was it. Very straight forward and the recruiter reached out with an offer within a week.
