I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Federal Reserve Board (Washington, DC) in Sep 2018
Interview
Excellent process. I applied online, and was contacted by a recruiter a little over a month later. We set up a time for a phone interview with two hiring managers a few days later. The phone interview was about 30 minutes and included situational and economic questions. I received a call for an in-person interview the next day. The in-person interview was a week later with two hiring managers. They were very friendly and personable and asked mostly questions about my experience and how I would approach certain problems. I received an offer about 3 weeks later.
This was by far the most professional interview process I have been a part of. The only downside was that it took a little longer than expected, but many government jobs do.
