Behavioral Technical
Try to not schedule your interviews around noon if your interview will be held at the Ronald Reagan Buildiing. You are required to go through 3 security checkpoints and that can take from 5-15 minutes. First round- usually conducted in-person if you live in DC or most candidates are locally based. If 2 or more candidates are outside DC, then it will be done via teleconference or skype. Second round- all interviews are conducted in-person. Some candidates are based overseas so they can be flown in at the company's expense.

Behavioral
I applied online and filled out a resume and answered five questions about quality rating factors. About a month after applying, I got a phone call. After that phone call, they checked my references and gave me an offer. Once I accepted, they started a background check for a security clearance that took almost a year. I heard that a year is normal for this kind of thing, so be ready to wait.
