I applied through university. I interviewed at ICF (Charlottesville, VA)
Interview
I talked to the head interviewer at a university career fair and submitted my resume in person. I received an email for an on-site interview around 4-5 weeks later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most questions were straightforward (behavioral) but there were a few technical questions that were worded a bit differently so it was tough to discern what answer the interviewer was looking for.
-What experiences have you gained from your past internship positions
-Why ICF
-Tell me a little bit about your relevant coursework
3 step process with multiple questions asking about how you would problem solve for client solutions and how to communicate to non technical team members. Explaining using documentation can prove advantageous as well!
This interview contained standard questions about productivity, interests, organizational skills, values, past experiences. it was pretty standard, only one round but took a while to hear back with their decision.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ICF in Oct 2023
Interview
Recruiter call - HM panel - Teammates. It depends on the project also. If you are not heard back from them after the 2nd interview within 1 week, high chance that you don't get the job.
