Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 weeks)
This was a phone interview with four engineers. It was fairly short. Each took turns asking various questions very quickly. It was a little off putting how they were only interested in technical knowledge. But an interesting interview. There were no difficult questions, simple do you know this, can you do this, etc.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
This was a contract-to-perm offer, and it basically boiled down to bad insurance offerings.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

You'll apply online, and then wait...and wait...and wait some more. A Regional recruiter will call you, then refer you to a local hiring manager. The hiring manager will invite you for an interview.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Fort Meade, MD (took a day)
I was referred to a recruiter for the company from a friend. The recruiter set me up with a "job-fair" type of interview. I went in and their were about 15 different managers there from different projects. The ones that were thought to be early matches for me had copies of my resume. I sat down with about 5 managers, where they told me about the projects. I talked to them about my experience, but no technical questions were asked.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Yes because I had other offers. They were willing to beat the other offers by a slight margin. It never hurts to ask.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)
Applied on external job site, contacted by recruiter with offer to interview. Met with panel interviewers within one week, seven interviewers who asked 20-25 structured questions. Turned interview on to panel with questions that lasted thirty minutes and discussed culture, norms and daily work requirements, management styles and potential advancements. Guided interviewers to 'off track' questions that dealt wtih interviewer's personal work interest and their desired traits for a co-worker. Interviewers were nice and seemed to accept my answers to questions with hightened interest. All were animate in their reactions and gave back positive results. I came away feeling great. I really enjoyed the interview and the people. Lots of laughs.
Received job offer within one week (via FedEx). 25% higher salary, very good benefits including continuing education.
Everyone seemed in a good mood, upbeat and having no serious hangups during the interview.
Within 4-8 months work environment changed as layoffs seemed iminent (2-6 months). Teammates seemed tense, anxious and worried. Meetings were tense with preditory actions prevalent. High drive to reduce costs with everyone expected to contribute 10-20% cost reductions.
I received job offer from another company that didn't deal with defense matters and accepted. Slightly less monies but overall a better environment.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Congenial, not much negotiation...arrived at agreeable salary and benefits package.
Depending on your skill level, and especially experience you can ask for a better salary and better educational benefits but over all the original offer should be sufficient. If you do great work during first year you can ask for better salary.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Interview was with three employees, 2 managers and 1 lead analyst. It was not a very professional interview as two of them were on laptops during the majority of the interview. The questions that I was asked were very elementary and not very clear. The interview did not seem to be planned at all.
