      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at General Atomics (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      HR called me to set up interview, no HR screening. Met with Senior Talent and interviewed one on one. Next interview was with the 2 senior admins. Last interview was with Managers there was 3 scheduled but only 2 showed up. They all asked general questions but the Managers didn't really have much to say most of the questions came from the Admin people who would be in your day to day operations. Didn't want to ask when they would make a decisions but was able to get a one on one answer with my escort one of the admin interviewers. She said it normally would take about 2 months to get an answer. I have checked the board to see if the posting was still listed..it has been until recently. I reached out to HR to see if they have made a decision and they would not respond back to my email from the recruiter who initially emailed me. I guess GA does not even send you an email saying they will not proceed with your candidacy or some form of contact that you were passed over.

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Atomics (San Diego, CA) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      Pretty much painless. Phone interview, 1 on 1, and then panel interview. The questions were standard and simple. Panel was very pleasant and conducted the interview as a conversation instead of simple Q and A.
