I applied online. I interviewed at OST (Washington, DC) in Dec 2013
Interview
Just a normal interview process: Screening interview with HR over phone, then with the technical lead and the project manager.
Finally a brief interview/ meeting with the Program Director, mostly personality questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at OST in Mar 2022
Interview
Short and friendly interview process. No whiteboard code challenge is a plus. Asked technical questions over a Zoom call. 2 interview’s before offer. Nice and healthy process that considers the applicants time well.
