Interview
Easy only asked a few questions. very straight to the point and second interview was behavioral. They asked all situational questions. First was a phone and second was over Zoom. Received offer letter 2 months later though.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Social Security Administration (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
It was a tedious process that was included a test very similar to the SATs. Aside from the regular interview for behavior, there was a 2 or 3 hours "aptitude" test that included basic math, vocabulary (think big is to small as.. tall is to ___ type questions), and then a written exam asking you to procedurally break down a task. It was an.. interesting experience.
