I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Environmental Protection Agency (Boston, MA) in Jun 2020
Interview
Two rounds of interviews, one with HR and one with several potential managers. Very nice people and standard interview process, however the onboarding process afterwards took several weeks (background check, security clearance, training, etc.)
It was conducted virtually on Microsoft Teams with a panel of people who took turns to ask you a list of questions (about eight to ten questions in total). Sometimes only one round of interview, sometimes two rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
