Interview Details –
I applied on-line for an out of state position and received a call about a week later from a recruiter. He just asked basic questions, I suppose to see if I could talk about my resume. It went fine and a couple weeks later I received a call from the manager heading the location the position sets. He talked about more specifics about my experience and details about the job. That call lasted about 1.5 hours and my phone actually died right at the end of the interview. He called me back and apologized for running my battery out and said he was very interested in me and said he would set up a third interview with his director and his counterpart.
I got a call the next day with everyone on the line. That call had more of a formal interview feel with all the formal and classic interview questions such as, "best strength and weakest weakness." Being a remote Technician with little or no supervision, how would I keep myself busy?" I seemed to go really well and I am currently waiting on the results with high expectations.
Interview Question – As always the toughest questions are personality type for me. View Answer

Interview Details – I thought the Interview went well enough. There were certain shortcomings in the description that I was aware of. Back to back interviews for 4.5 hours. Each Interview was essentially a copy of the previous. Internal communication seemed lacking. Position was replacing a retiring position (one of the interviewers), and they seemed to be looking for the replacement to be a younger duplicate of the retiree for the position. Open communication with HR through most of process, worst part was the communication simply stopped from HR. No declination of position was given.
Interview Question – Standard questions including "Why do you want to work for us?" and "Why do you feel you would fit this position better than any other applicants?" Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Feb 5, 2013
Interview Details – Started with HR providing forms to be filled out. You are expected to be VERY detailed and specific with names and dates. HR will confirm everything on your resume and the forms before scheduling an interview with a hiring manager. The first interview is about an hour with the hiring manager and one or two other members on the team or group. Then you will be asked back for a second interview with the hiring manager and department manager. The interview is very thorough with technical details and job history. Be prepared to talk about your previous work experience down to day by day functions.
Interview Question – Wasn't anything difficult as long as you are 100% honest. L-3 is a government contractor and the government will do additional screening. Anything less than 100% honesty is grounds for termination. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Received an offer letter and called HR asking for an increase. Was denied because I had been offered their maximum budgeted salary. HR strongly hinted not to push and I didn't. I knew other people were interviewing for my position and the company could find an alternative.
