After my resume was put into the system, I had a 30-45 minute phone call with my supervisor. HR made a quick decision. The salary is based on a set scale and isn't negotiable. I had to go through a clearance process after the offer.

Behavioral Technical
I met a recruiter at a college event and heard back a few weeks later. We had a zoom interview that included a greeting and a review of my resume. There weren't any specific technical questions. I didn't make it past the first screening because I wasn't well-prepared. It was a friendly chat, but I wasn't the right fit for the role at that time.

I was contacted by a recruiter after submitting my resume at a career fair. About two months later, I had an online interview with a team lead and an engineer. The questions felt very scripted and not conversational, like they were just checking boxes. I never heard back after that.
