I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Southern Company (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2013
Interview
First step was a phone screen with HR. A week later there was a phone interview with the hiring manager. Then I was called in for an interview which was a panel interview. The questions are pretty basic (STAR questions). Each interviewer gets to ask 2 or more questions. It took about 2 weeks to get the offer. Then about 2-3 weeks for background check and drug test, then another 2 weeks for notifying my employer at that time.

Interview
I had a recruiter or perhaps it was a hiring manager reach out asking if I would like to come in for an interview. I told him I’m not interested and before I finished he hung up. Talk about professionalism, it seems like the Southern Company lacks it. Huge red flag
