I had applied initially online a few months prior, and had not gotten an interview. After a few months, I reapplied, significantly revising my application to better describe myself and my passion for the position. A week after resubmitting my application, I received a phone call to sett up an initial phone screening (less than 1/2 hour). Upon completion of the phone screening, I was scheduled for a longer phone interview (Maybe 45 minutes). Then I attended a presentation about the position, and took a qualifying examination (some type of SIMFA exam, which lasted about 2 hours). After successfully passing the exam, I was scheduled for an in-person interview with two hiring managers. I was offered the position, which I immediately accepted. Throughout the process, I was asked behavioral-type interview questions, and talked about both how my past experiences and current passions made me suitable for the position. I recommend doing some research on the company before the first phone screening, and throughout the process, as they do ask questions to determine if you understand what the company does and how you will fit into the company's overall purpose. I got the sense that this company spends a lot of time trying to make sure their employees are a great fit, as they end up investing a lot of time and resources on training and employee satisfaction once hired. Overall, it felt mutually beneficial, and I learned a lot about the company through the process, so by the time my offer came through I was sure I really wanted to work for the company.
