Applied in October, interviewed in March once, got conditional in April, completed background check, fingerprints, general HR paperwork, and started working in May. Process overall easy, but time consuming. Not too sure if your people that were vouching for you and how quick they filled out survey/answered call affected speed of overall background check. All references I put down were contacted. Not reimbursed on fingerprints, but negligible in long run of your base salary. Starting salary base is dependent on education level and previous equivalent work/skills.

The interview consisted of interviews and discussions with staff at all levels. It was really focused on giving me a better understanding how the Volpe Center operated. The in-person portion of the interview was a half day.
