I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RightStar Systems (Washington, DC)
Interview
Fairly casual interview process. If you make it through the phone interview you do have to meet with other employees who will assess your skill set. They do do a thorough background check. Must be a US citizen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Many questions on how you do things in your area of expertise. Some red herrings are thrown in the mix to see if you know your stuff.
