Soon after I applied, I had an initial phone screen, which then progressed to an in-person, onsite interview in Richland (Washington State) with several senior employees. They shared that E2 Consulting is a great company that takes care to shift contractors to new roles when contracts end. The interview seemed to go well. Soon afterward I was told that my application was denied because the client requires applicants to have "Hanford experience" (this was listed as a preference, not a requirement, in the job announcement).
