I interviewed with three people who would be on my team, but not the hiring manager or supervisor. The questions were repeated and very targeted. I wasn't asked about my experience or any STAR scenario questions to demonstrate my skills. The tone was very conversational, but I wasn't very impressed or intrigued with how it was conducted.

I had a great experience with the interview process at HHS. The communication was clear and timely, and the interviewers were professional, friendly, and genuinely interested in my background. Each stage was well-organized and gave me a good sense of the role and company culture. Overall, it was a smooth and respectful process that left a very positive impression.

So for this role, you can expect like 3 interviews max. You'll first interview with some peers, then you'll have two interviews with supervisors. It's mostly about your experience and to see if you're a good fit. After all the interviews, there's usually a pretty long wait before they get back to you with an offer and to start.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Tell me about your substantive experience, for example, your experience with statutory interpretation.

Took over 5 months from applying to getting an interview. They emailed the next day asking for references. I didn't check my personal email during work so didn't see it. They called the next day saying they were due yesterday (not stated in the email). I find it unrealistic to assume everyone has access to personal devices during the workday. She gave me an extension to get them back within the hour, but I withdrew my application later. It wasn't about providing names (my references were on my resume) but the attitude I missed a deadline that wasn't communicated. Major red flags for me.
