I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FDM Group (Reston, VA) in Jul 2019
Interview
After the initial phone call, I received an aptitude test as well as a video recorded interview. When I passed those I had to Skype interviews, one behavioral and one technical. Behavioral questions speak of themselves and the technical interview consisted of basic questions that can be found online when searching " basic xxxx interview questions" where xxxx is whatever language stream you applied to. For example, I applied to the java stream.
