I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at US Census Bureau in Jun 2009
Interview
Got call to come in for interview. They communicated information about interview well. Came for interview, they asked me NO questions and basically just offered me the job. Let me meet a few other analysts, but they seemed uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. Brief tour of building.

Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Suitland, MD) in Mar 2023
Interview
Eight hiring managers met me on Microsoft Teams (audio only - no video) to ask me interview questions. I had received a list of hiring managers and their respective department summaries. Two hiring managers went back-and-forth asking questions and writing down answers after my responses. The interview felt very structured.
