I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sempra (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2009
Interview
The whole experience was very pleasant and professional. This is a large company with a well defined org structure. So, all the details such as job description, salary range, reporting structure and career growth possibilities were clear.
I offered details on my previous job and my skills during the interview. The process went very well as I was able to demonstrate the outputs in a short and concise format.
