Absolutely terrible! They basically wasted my time. The first interview was over the phone, after that they asked me to prepare a presentation with questions and they wanted the interview in person! I live near Pembroke, which is about 500 km away from Toronto. I asked for a virtual interview, they said no and that I had to come in person and that they wouldn't pay for any of it. Basically go all the way to Toronto on my dime to present the solution to their question. Keep in mind this is a basic entry level position. After attending that interview, I was contacted a couple of weeks later, saying they wanted to do a third interview again in person and again they wouldn't pay for any travel expenses. At this point I questioned the HR rep as to why they needed so many in person interview, and her only answer was "that what the manager requested" and that this was standard practice for all positions at Toronto Hydro. I responded by saying "does that mean all your target candidates are local and/or unemployed" since the interviews are on weekdays and they would need to take time off work to travel great distances. The HR person responded by saying "that's not true, we interview candidates from Australia and other parts of the world". At this point I got so frustrated with her inconsistent and unbelievable answers I told her i was no longer interested in working for Toronto Hydro if they weren't willing to pay for my travel or have the interview virtually. She said that wouldn't be possible and we parted ways. So moral of the story is don't apply here unless you live locally in the GTA!

Phone call, then teams call with engineers and manager. The total process took around 34 weeks to get an offer. Everything went great and all interviewer were kind and smiling.
