The interview was 60 minutes long and I used the whole time. Each question had multiple parts and if you weren't writing things down, you'd spend time asking them to repeat the questions.

Behavioral
The interview was on Microsoft Teams and lasted about 40 minutes. Two engineers asked a lot of different questions, mostly behavioral. They were really nice, and one of them was pretty laid back. They want to hear about your experience, so make sure you have something interesting to share.

Behavioral Technical
I got a call from the team lead and we chatted for about 20 mins, just to see if we both felt it was a good fit and to set up an in-person interview. The interview was at the office where the job is, and I met with the Team Leader, Office Director, and two other team members. It was a pretty open chat about what the office does, what they expect from the person in this role, and my background. In federal jobs, being a mid-career person is kind of a big deal, so they seemed really interested in how my private sector experience would translate to a government job. One of the interviewers knew a tough client I worked with before, which was a nice connection and might have given them confidence I could handle challenges.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview was a 1-hour panel with four people, including engineers and the hiring manager. They asked about personal skills, my expectations from an employer and internship, and other typical behavioral questions. I also got a tour of the office and met other staff. It was a good experience overall.
