I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Leidos
Interview
I was a little lucky in this regard, my interviewer who would also act as my supervisor has a very similar background from past military experience. The interview was very comfortable, and lasted around 45 minutes and I was informed of the decision to extend offers at the end of the discussion.
Very smooth and mixture of technical and personal questions. Had 2 of them. Negotiation was difficult and they wouldn’t go up in salary. But the PTO and 401(k) was hard to pass up.
Typical phone screen asking behavioral STAR questions. General stuff like describing your previous experiences. Describe how you used data science and scripting tools to accomplish big data analytics in your previous jobs?

Question 1
Describe how you used data science and scripting tools to accomplish big data analytics in your previous jobs?
Very quick interview process. Professional interviewers stuck to topics at hand and respected my time frame. Took maybe 5-10 minutes at a maximum. Would recommend working for this company in the future.
