I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PSEG (South Plainfield, NJ) in Feb 2015
Interview
Interview was over the phone for job description. Then on-site interview with manager and tour of facility. After tour was group interview. Everything was straight forward. Very nice and pleasant during the interview. Did not act that they were above you.

Initial phone screening interview, followed by more formal interview in STAR format. Interview was by a panel of 3 people each of whom asked one or more of the questions.
STAR Format

Task - describe the tasks involved in that situation
Action - talk about the various actions involved in the situation's task
Results - what results directly followed because of your actions

Question 1
Describe a time while working as a (job) in which you were faced with problems or stresses that tested your coping skills.
Very behavioral. The questions are very standard where most were “tell me about a time.” Just follow the STAR method and you’ll be fine. As for technicals, I personally didn’t get any so I can’t really help with that aspect.
