It was a long and detailed process with standard background questionnaires. Mostly, they wanted to get to know me better. If you got the call, it means your resume impressed them and they're considering you. As long as you answer everything well, you should be fine. The in-person interview was more of a check than the final decision.

Behavioral Other
I interviewed over Google Meets with three employees. They asked fairly standard behavioral questions, and a few questions about the department's mission and areas of focus. I was ghosted and never heard back about whether I got the position, even though they said I'd hear within a week. Honestly, if DoI cares about integrity, they should let candidates know their status.
