I applied online. I interviewed at US Patent and Trademark Office
Interview
Virtual Interview - 5 questions - all fairly common STAR format questions - if you have prepped for an interview at Amazon this will be very easy and I am talking L3 corporate level interview. You also have 2 minutes to prep so you can really tailor your answer. The questions are below are actually copy and pasted from the interview screen, I hope this helps someone in the future prepare. Biggest thing is prep to answer every question in STAR format.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at US Patent and Trademark Office (Oxnard, CA) in June 2026
Interview
I've only done the digital one, where I recorded myself, and it was fairly easy. You got chances to redo your recording, which was nice, and you had a minute before you read the question to prepare your answer. I found it to be intuitive.
