      Anonymous Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Vancouver, BC
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BC Hydro (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2010

      Interview

      Apply to position. Wait a long time (one month) for any response, then do a phone interview (due to the number of candidates) that basically is just to confirm you are still interested and agree to the minimum job requirements--not surprisingly by then they can weed out a number of people. Then wait several more weeks for an in-person interview with the manager and HR. Most questions are experiential, "describe an experience where you demonstrated... (this desirable or pre-requisite quality or bit of knowledge)". I also had a written test in my case. Then there was a crazily long wait to get a response, which turned out to be a job offer. With other companies you would think a long delay in responding means you're out of contention, but not with Hydro. Hydro is a behemoth, slow to get going, slow to stop or change direction.

      Question 1

      Safety is a core value at BC Hydro. Tell us what safety means to you by giving an example from your previous work experience.
