I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RAND (Santa Monica, CA) in Dec 2013
Interview
Wow, they are interviewing like mad, and hiring great people. The interviews are intense. All day affairs, typically 7 to 9 interviews with lots of people at all levels of the organization. Top level manners get engaged in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I think the most difficult aspect is the number of interviewers and they cover everything about a candidate, from technical, to behavior, to cultural fit. You really are asked a lot of questions from a lot of perspectives, but super professional.
