I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Leidos (Oceanside, CA) in May 2017
Interview
My understanding was when someone called you for an interview, they are interested in you. These people called me for an interview, I was excited. It took me 1 hour to drive there. For a low position, I didn't expect to see three guys. I spent 45 minutes with each guy. I thought they were interested in my experience, not my appearance. The interview went well with two guys, but the guy in the middle was pretty insulting. When he first looked at me, I had that bad feeling that he didn't like me already just by the way he was looking at me. When I sat down with him, he looked over my resume he didn't seen very impressed. They were looking for people to train as Technician for luggage scanning machines. I have been a Technician for over 20 years. I fix, set up, calibrate, and convert machines to make micro components for medical devices. I also have certificates in Machining, Automotive, and Electronics.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Leidos (Bethesda, MD) in Oct 2018
Interview
A fairly easy interview process, but was definitely treated like 'just another candidate'; they forgot my name, had to refresh my resume and experience every interview (with the same people) but regardless; they seem very busy and were respectful. The whole process was rather quick.
A phone screen, 2 technical phone calls, then an onsite visit where I just did whiteboard questions and asked about the company
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Code Fibonacci (they seemed like they asked this to everyone)
My contacts and interviewers were really nice. They helped me calm down when I was very obviously nervous for the phone screen.
I applied online during the summer for an internship but instead got contacted later for the full-time position that just opened up. There was a technical phone screen (lots of questions about OOP) and a final in-person technical interview where they also asked me a design question, then they offered me the position on the spot.
