Interviewed May 2010 (took 5 days)
Great people, very simple interview. Asked what sort of experience I had working with money. Only dealt with one person, lower level HR. Part of the application process included all of my past employment, education, military history and criminal history. So they had a pretty good idea of what my qualifications were but they just wanted to touch base. Good experience, very friendly and a great summer job.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Lakewood, CO (took 3 months)
After applying via USA jobs, I was called over 1 month later via phone. Then I was set up to do a 2-person panel phone interview. Questions were fairly typical (in behavioral interview fashion). Unfortunately, due to congressional budget restraints, they couldn't offer me a position at that time.

Interviewed May 2010 in Valley Forge, PA (took 1 week)
you get a phone call and someone will ask you some questions. they really don't care what you say because they asked me what my gpa was I told them 3.1. my friend also applyed for the job and he had a 3.5 gpa but they didn't take him. instead they took too idiots with 2.1 gpa. they tell you the job will be one thing, but then they make something else up when you get there.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Hagerstown, MD (took 3 weeks)
After a brief screening phone interview which lasted 10-15 minutes I was asked to come in for a face to face interview. This lasted about an hour. We discussed my background, the position and I was given a few scenarios and asked for a response. I was called back for a second (third) interview with potential co-workers we discussed the position in more detail discussing salary and day to day operations (45 min). I was called back a week later and told the position had been offered to a more qualified applicant
