I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at General Atomics (Poway, CA) in Sep 2013

Phone Call interview about warning notes cautions, systems you either worked on as a technician or wrote procedures for. Then in person interview with 3-4 writers/supervisors asking you about your resume, experience and then you will review schematics and write mock procedures.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Atomics (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Received a call from HR for the phone interview, then was set with an on-site interview with HR and 3 managers from the department. 30 minutes with each, they shared a lot of information allowing questions along the way. I felt comfortable that I understood what the job entailed. Later was sent information for a skills assessment. They were very good about staying in touch and called each week to let me know where they were in the process.

Question 1
I don't think there was a difficult question, it was more about how my skills matched and what they were looking for with information about the day to day job.
