I applied on their website and one of their internal recruiters contacted me a month later for a SAM position. We scheduled an interview two weeks after that. It was with 3 panelists, which is typical for government orgs. They got back to me about 6 weeks after the interview. Then it took another 6 weeks for the background check, offer letter, and drug testing. They ask for your two most recent pay stubs to determine their initial offer, and I was told they don't negotiate it. I took the offer because of their great benefits and the chance to work downtown.
