I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Westat (Rockville, MD) in Apr 2015
Interview
Hired over the phone for low level field interviewer job. I made a couple of appointments with their staff via internet and we talked. Oddly enough, they weren't going to hire me because I was overqualified but then they changed their minds. The people who interviewed me were sort of nice which was not at all my experience with the company itself.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to explain why I wanted the job and other not too interesting questions. Perhaps the people who interviewed me could have given me a heads-up about what to expect.

I interviewed twice. The first interview was a simple process with basic interview questions. The second was with a higher member of management. Making sure I was comfortable with various situations, as the interview locations varied by assignment.

Question 1
The interview panel asked about my interactions with clients, face to face. They asked me to explain how I would handle intense situations with new customers and if I was comfortable going to client's homes to administer the interview in person.
Interviewed in a group setting with about 4-5 current employees in different leadership roles. Straightforward process. They were all willing to answer questions and provide input from their unique perspectives. Interview done virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, there was a comfortable atmosphere.
