I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD) in Sep 2016
Interview
I applied for the position online, got a call next day and phone interview 2 days later and in person interview 2 weeks later but it took them 2 month to get back to me and that was after I called 4 times to get the results.
