I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Atomics (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
It was pretty straight forward. There are two kinds of interview: the one where they know they want to hire you and they make the questions easy, or just basically try to sell you on the job; and the other kind where they know they don't want to hire you and they ask the most ridiculously hard questions, expecting you to fail.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They usually ask a question that they have been looking for an answer to in their own job
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Atomics in Sept 2025
Interview
They were very professional. Phone screening is first followed by a Teams Interview. The zoom interview had standard interview questions along with technical questions. I recommend working with someone to prep.
