I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Georgia Tech Research Institute (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Felt that they were asking questions irrelevant to the job I was being hired for. In my case, it looked like I was too smart for them (over-qualified) so I was surprised to get an offer.
To the point interview, practical interview with several engineers (electrical, systems, software) and managers. Approx. one hour interview over the phone and later 4-hour interview on site. A few members of the team and management took turns to ask questions.

Question 1
During the interview process immediately after exchanging greetings, the recruiter asked that GTRI requires citizenship for most of the position and if I am US citizen. This question kind of threw me off guard, as I am a veteran who served in the Army and National Guard and clearly stated in my resume and several other forms that I filled out prior to the interview. Beside the citizenship question the recruiter seems to be interested in knowing what is I am good at and what I do currently. Within minutes after the interview was completed I received an email stating that I am not moving forward. Despite the immediacy of the email, I was not surprised by the rejection as I got the sense that the interview was not going well right from the beginning.
