I applied through an employee referral. The process took a year or more. I interviewed at National Security Agency (Fort Meade, MD)
Interview
moderate physical test to include run, agility test, push ups and sit ups., 10 question interview, background investigation, polygraph, mental evaluation, physical, drug test. Little to no information during extremely long and grueling process. Background investigation is top notch and thorough. Once a selection is made, it is expected the person be ready quickly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
