Phone Interview, 1 hr, talked about project and related experiences, took 2+ months to get back to me with an offer, had difficulty understanding over the phone, I have to fill up another 30 words so I'm just writing stuff right now, this 50 word minimum is really frustrating, I don't remember this interview very well as it was 3 years ago

Behavioral Technical
I replied to an email that came through my engineering department. The supervisor got back to me within a week of my email and we set up a phone interview for the next week. The whole thing took about 2 weeks and was really smooth and simple (which is uncommon for a government job). They also asked me about interviewing for another position and project during my interview.
