I contacted a recruiter at the company directly for a job I was a specific match. They called from a D.C. office for a quick chat. The position was one of the few that did not require a security clearance. Although I have a 20+ year career as a professional software developer, working in the latest tech stacks, they seemed to be mostly interested in those just coming out of college. No technical questions, just a general overview of the job and asked about my experience and academic background which was STEM but degree was not CS.

Question 1
They did not seem to be engaged enough to ask specifics, it felt like they were just doing a quick pre-screening for academic background.
Interviewers were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The recruitment team was extremely efficient extending an offer letter roughly 48 hours after submitting an application. Recruitment team scheduled my interview within 36 hours of submitting my application.
It was a simple panel style interview with three interviewers. They asked about projects on my resume and a few questions regarding the programming languages specific to the job description.
