Application takes longer than the interview. After applying it was about a month until you heard back for an interview. One interview in Philly office. Process is quick. Heard back a week after the interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SEC in Apr 2018
Interview
I did not hear back until 2 months after I applied and it was late April when I got a response. They set up one phone call that was basic and asked general questions about my resume, why I wanted to work for the SEC, and the logistics of the position.
