J'ai passé un entretien chez Institute for Defense Analyses
Entretien
Odd. Only one panel interview, no discussion about what research projects I’d be on. At the end of the panel interview the HR person showed me all the benefits IDA offers - which I was not interested in before getting an offer.

First was an HR phone screening (30 mins), then the next week came a 2-person technical zoom screening (45 mins). After which point they contacted all of my references, and the final step was a full-day on-site with individual and group interviews with a lot of different people + an hour-long presentation panel (which you give) and lunch.

Formal interview on-site with follow-up phone calls from potential project managers. Had interview over the course of a morning with multiple people in the division I would be working in. Questions varied based on the role of the person there but they made people from all levels of the division available which was helpful!
