It's a long process, taking months, with several stages to pass. First, there's a computer based test to check your multitasking and problem-solving skills. Then, you'll have an in-person interview with a supervisor or two. After that, a background check where they get a super detailed packet about your life and family. There's also a polygraph, which involves filling out another detailed packet. Finally, an HR interview.

The vibe was cold, unfeeling, and unfriendly. There were three interviewers in the room, and they seemed like they didn't want to be there. They made me feel like I shouldn't want to be there either. They asked specific questions and got upset if you gave them anything other than exactly what they asked for.
