I applied through university. I interviewed at Naval Surface Warfare Center
Interview
Easy on the spot interview process setup from a career fair. Follow up communication took months and multiple emails before an actual offer was sent. The federal hiring freeze severely delayed my actual start date and I ended up having three more identical interviews with different people.

Interview
Very conversational and pretty easy. Interviewed with two different branches and for one the only thing they asked was to explain the difference between iteration and recursion and questions about some data structures
I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Naval Surface Warfare Center (Crane, IN) in Sept 2023
Interview
The interview consisted of mainly behavioral questions; most were pretty standard questions. Why are you interested, important character traits, etc. Overall, it was a pretty conversational interview, not too hard. The interview lasted around 30-45 minutes.
