I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at DEA (New York, NY) in Mar 2023
Interview
Very structured interview process. The interview is intended to be the oral assessment outlined in their hiring process description. More information is not available due to candidates being required to sign an NDA. It took roughly 2 years to reach the interview from the initial application.

Application
I applied through university. I interviewed at DEA (New York, NY) in Jan 2025
Interview
Panel interview with more interviews expected. Three men and one women. They weren’t all intelligence research specialists. Some were agents or SACs. It lasted about 55 minutes, but time passed quickly with the interaction.
I applied online. I interviewed at DEA (Newark, NJ)
Interview
NOT a typical interview. Questions are based on logic, scenarios, and how you’d handle certain situations. I declined offer. The offer was an insult to my experience and years of school and research and federal experience and much more. I couldn’t possibly live on 50k a year living in New Jersey! With a mortgage and bills up my bums! The DEA should reconsider their salary. 50k is suitable for Utah and Wyoming or an affordable state but not the State of New Jersey!
