I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Atomics in Jan 2023
Interview
2 hour interview, first hour is solving a technical question, second half is walking through your solution, and general interview questions. The technical question is difficult to understand and the Procter doesn't help much when you try to ask clarifying questions.
