I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Toronto Hydro (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2009
Interview
Applied online and HR invited me for a skills test, which involved a written database/SQL test and some spreadsheet tasks on the computer.
Second interview consisted of (future) manager and HR specialist. Written questions given at the start of the interview, with 20min to review the rougly 10 or 15 questions. Questions were broad and covered areas such as skills, dealing with accomplishments/failures, how to tackle co-workers, etc. Interview essentially involved running through the questions and discussing any issue raised by the manager or HR employee. The culture is laid-back and the interview was somewhat casual (not in terms of dress code but in terms of discussions).
After a week or so, an offer was made conditional on a background check.

Interview
Pretty straightforward interview process. Screening round with the HR where you’re asked about your background to see if you match the role. Interview with managers consisted of a PPT which I had to prepare based on a situation from previous work experience, followed by 45 min interview consisting of situation-based questions. Most of them were on the lines of -“describe a time when xyz happened and how did you approach the situation”.
