DSFederal Interview Questions
& Process

I did a phone screening and then a teams interview. They talked about the job and asked me how I would approach a problem. I think they asked about my background too. They asked if I knew about natural language processing and machine learning, and how comfortable I am with computers.

I was contacted by a recruiter via email in July about my interest in the role, to which I responded positively. However, there was no follow-up for a phone interview. In early October, a different recruiter reached out about the same position and scheduled a panel interview. After the interview, I was told HR would contact me within two weeks regarding their decision. It's now December, and I've received no updates. This company's recruitment process is something to avoid.

Got contacted by them multiple times over a few weeks to schedule an interview. I responded and then had a call with the recruiter. After that, I had a video interview with the person whose position I would be taking. It went really well, and the recruiter told me the feedback was excellent. A few days later, I was supposed to have a video call with the CEO and some other managers. I thought I would get an offer, but 15 minutes before the call, they canceled it. The recruiter then said they weren't interested in rescheduling. This really caught me off guard since I was expecting an offer, and they just backed out without explaining why, which felt unprofessional.

The interview process included a recruiter call, followed by technical questions covering UI, Backend, Asp.net, C#, Architecture, OOP, Angular, Rest API, JSON, Sort Algorithm, and Programming Language. They also asked about Salary, Relocation, Work authorization, and Availability. Finally, there was an onsite interview where I was asked to describe the most complicated case in my projects and why they should hire me.
