I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Applied Research Associates in Apr 2019
Interview
Applied via their website and they got back to me within the week asking for a phone interview. Phone interview was really relaxed and the interviewer was really nice. At the end of the interview they mentioned bringing me in for a formal interview in person and reimbursing me for the costs. Have not had the formal interview yet, but asked for me to be prepared to give a technical presentation. Putting my outcome as no offer because I have not had the formal interview yet.
