I applied online. I interviewed at HII (Fairfax, VA) in Feb 2025
Interview
I had a zoom meeting with the hiring manager and his boss. Most of the interview consisted of behavioral questions and very high level technical questions. I got the sense they mostly wanted to know about my personality and they let my resume (22 years of IT experience) speak for itself.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a difficult boss. What would you do if the client was not happy with the results?
It was a very easy and casual interview over the phone. They asked common interview questions about me and my experiences working with others. They also asked STAR type of questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at HII (Syracuse, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview consisted of 3 rounds. One with a set of systems engineers, which went by easily. The second round was when it fell apart because the lead software engineer interviewer was extremely unprofessional, did not introduce himself, and started asking questions outside of the scope of the job listing and resume provided. This was extremely unprofessional for an interview.
It went really well and was mostly behavior based. Was 2 pmo and the lead developer. They asked questions about my c# skills and js. There were also questions about how I have contributed to my team at my current company.
