General Atomics interview questions

Interview process was generally the same as others have described. Phone interview with a software lead who will ask a string of standard coding questions, followed by a coding assessment sent via e-mail. Was brought on-site for another technical/behavioral interview. The on-site coding assessment was very fair; as someone without a degree in software/computer engineering, it was doable. Anyone with a software related degree should have no problem. Being a defense company, it was surprising that it took several weeks to process a background on a candidate with a clearance when they use JPAS as does the military. Nearly every employer will extend an offer contingent upon passing background. Fair salary offer and unrivaled benefits (including pension and 401k). Will strongly consider the company in the future.

I applied through the Company website and after a screening interview with HR was invited to interview at their facility on the West Coast. The interview was a series of interviews with HR and managers, including the hiring manager. There was considerable duplication in the interviews, which gave the impression that the interviewers had not coordinated their strategy before I attended. After the interview I was given a strong indication that an offer would follow but due to company reorganisation and a pending contract awaiting sign-off they were not in a position to make an offer, with initial suggestions that something would happen within 2 weeks, then the end of the next month and finally soon but nothing was ever heard. Ultimately, I went with another employer.
