It was on Zoom so there were some connection issues on the interviewers' ends. Overall, it was a quick but personable interview. Interviewers were willing to respond and explain any questions that I had.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Air Force Research Laboratory (Dayton, OH) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview was conducted by telephone. They email you the interview questions prior to the interview so you have time to prepare for it. There's usually a panel of about 3-4 people and each asks a question. Most of the questions are specific to the job that you're applying for so they're not generic, "tell us about a time that you dealt with a difficult customer" type of questions.
