I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at FDIC (Saint Louis, MO) in Jan 2016
Interview
A series of four uestions. They give time for you to think before you respond. Relatively short. Pretty easy as far as interviews go. Like any government agency, it takes a long time to get anything going, so do not expect anything to move fast. I had an interview at the beginning of January, was tentatively accepted in the middle of January, and was officially accepted beginning of March / end of February after going through a background check.
Started with a very basic screening call done over phone. Then, you were notified if you got to the second round. The second round interview was a phone call interview with two interviewers. The process was very regimented and odd. They would ask you a question, you would respond and then have to say done when you are completed, and they would move on to the next question. Not conversational at all.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at FDIC (Richmond, VA) in Sept 2022
Interview
One over the phone interview consisting of three strutured behavioral questions. Just standard bevioral questions where the interviewer cannot comment or give feedback. The no feedback part makes the interview slightly awkward.

I applied through university. I interviewed at FDIC
Interview
Unique interview style with three bank examiners who ask a few standardized questions, write your answers down, and do not respond. They are very nice people, though, and interviews took place over the phone.
