I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at General Atomics (Rancho Bernardo, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
HR interview, personable. Interview with manager and panel, dull, one was slightly smug. Three middle aged men who were clearly all former military. Old goat locker club. Asked really no technical questions. Most questions were of the "if this happened, what would you do?" I did check out their experience, none seemed to have any actual UAS/UAV in the field experience (the smug one had no experience and was a former Navy vet.) I know another applicant, who is an attorney and a UAV pilot applied last year, about his interview experience. He said they were professional and made no other comment. I think they want to fill positions for their buddies who are getting out of the military. I don't see them looking for anyone that doesn't fit their mold.
My only comment regarding HR is that they are very slow and seem complacent in performing their job. A current employee that I also know said his job placement took six months. I emailed HR to get further info on my interview but, they never bothered to return my email or my phone call. Frustrating.
