I applied in-person. I interviewed at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Arlington, VA)
Interview
There was no job requisition for a Program Manager job. I was collaborating with another PM and had a meeting with them and their boss. Kind of off hand, the boss said something like "well, if you're ever interested in coming to DARPA...". I immediately said yes and the next step was to generally talk about what I would want to do at DARPA.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What technology would you want to pursue at DARPA?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Hastings, MN) in Jan 2025
Interview
Very professional, they have lots of advanced tech to make the life of the medieval gong worker easier. They are doing interesting research with robot gong workers and hopefully I will be redundant soon!
