The job interview was professional and clear. I interacted with the HR VP and the CEO. Both sides had some follow up questions. Overall positive experience. The management team here presented well, and clearly communicated the importance of their people.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Solerity in Mar 2012
Interview
I met with most of the executive team in a panel style interview. Unfortunately I never met with the actual recruiting manager. This lead to a lot of problems down the road. As I was prepared for the expectations of the president of the company but not the recruiting managers.

Question 1
It was the standard interview questions. How do you manage multiple conflicting priorities?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Solerity (Arlington, VA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Standard recruiting in an attempt to fill contract slots on government agency contract slots. Interviewing was non-technical. PSS is simply overhead on hourly-billable government contracts. Frankly, there are many companies doing the exact same thing better than PSS.
I declined their job offer because of their mandatory and horrid non-compete contract where the employee gets nothing in return for giving up many rights. Read it. You give up the right to perform ANY similar work for ANY employer in radii of PSS office and customer workplace that covers the entire metro DC area, even if you're terminated. PSS appealed lawsuits based on this contract all the way to the VA Supreme Court. I believe that for any given contract position you can find another contractor or prime contractor that would better for you as an employee.

Question 1
The interview was limited to basic questions about clearance, tolerance of commute - practical non-technical considerations regarding getting to work every day. They all boiled down to "Can you bill hours?"
