The interview was quite chill and gave me a chance to show off my experience. It lasted about 30 minutes and was really interactive. I didn't get the job, but the process was great.

Technical Behavioral

Applied online in May 2021. The first interview was a panel of three Program Analysts. HR emailed an hour after the interview stating I was a perfect fit and asked if I'd meet someone higher up. I agreed, and the next interview was scheduled. The person higher up didn't show for the first scheduled interview. We re-scheduled for the next week. It was obvious from the start that I wouldn't be hired. I was asked why I wanted to work in the Africa region, and it seemed like living on the West Coast was an issue, despite my background. Never heard back from MCC after this, and HR didn't reply to my email. I've applied about five times since and haven't been interviewed again.

Applied online through USAjobs, then got an email for an interview. It was a panel interview with three people in person and one on a call, lasting a bit over an hour. The direct supervisor wasn't there. They made time for questions. When asked about company culture, no one could name the five CLEAR values. After the interview, they emailed to say the job was changing from government to contractor, so benefits would change.

I just put my resume in online and then got a call from the company a bit later. I have French on my resume, and out of nowhere, the recruiter started speaking French to me. So, if you have a language listed, be ready to actually speak it. It was weird because I thought I messed that part up, but they still gave me an offer.
