I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Brooklyn, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
I was emailed that I had a scheduled interview. I got there on time, but took a while for someone to escort me from security. Waited in the lunchroom for about 10 minutes until they were ready to see me. The interview was with 3 engineers. They told me all about the position and asked me a few questions. Then they gave me a set of questions, some tables, and a small calculator to take some sort of assessment. This caught me off guard as I wasn't aware of a written test. I don't think I did too well on the assessment portion.
