the whole process took three months, which felt too long and unorganized. the questions they asked weren't even relevant, and honestly, i don't remember much else about it. the background check was a joke, they didn't even do drug testing, which they should have.

I applied online and had been working at IRS full-time for over 10 years. The whole process took about a year. There were ridiculous questions from fools, and it took months for them to get back to me.
