I interviewed at Federal Reserve Board (Washington, DC)
Interview
One 30-minute interview with a panel of 3 economists/researchers. Very laid back, with a mixture of behavioral questions and economic intuition tests. Some time at the end to ask your own questions. Pretty standard

Did both a phone interview and skype interview. The phone interview was a simple screening while the skype interview went into the more meaningful questions. They encouraged you to focus on the action and result while answering the questions. This method is known as the STAR method.
