The process for open-competitive positions is quite long, but in the end worth it. You apply for a position, and if you meet the minimum qualifications you are invited to take an exam. Based on the score of that exam you are given a ranking, which is placed on a list and sent to the various departments. Once they have a position open, they will use the list and schedule interviews. After this, you may have the opportunity to have a second interview if you do well.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process involves a lengthy test with strange placement outcomes. After the test, there's an interview, but they often don't call back. If they do, you might have to retake the test because the previous one expired. It seems like even if you do really well on the test, you probably won't get a call back.

The interview process can vary slightly by department, but most involve one to three in-person interviews, depending on the number of people who need to provide input for the role. My first interview was one-on-one, and the second one was a panel interview.
