      Intelligence Research Specialist Interview

      Aug 7, 2023
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at DEA (New York, NY) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      Panel interview with more interviews expected. Three men and one women. They weren’t all intelligence research specialists. Some were agents or SACs. It lasted about 55 minutes, but time passed quickly with the interaction.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you want to be an IRS?
      Answer question
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at DEA (New York, NY) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Very structured interview process. The interview is intended to be the oral assessment outlined in their hiring process description. More information is not available due to candidates being required to sign an NDA. It took roughly 2 years to reach the interview from the initial application.

      Intelligence Research Specialist Interview

      Nov 13, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Newark, NJ
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at DEA (Newark, NJ)

      Interview

      NOT a typical interview. Questions are based on logic, scenarios, and how you’d handle certain situations. I declined offer. The offer was an insult to my experience and years of school and research and federal experience and much more. I couldn’t possibly live on 50k a year living in New Jersey! With a mortgage and bills up my bums! The DEA should reconsider their salary. 50k is suitable for Utah and Wyoming or an affordable state but not the State of New Jersey!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can’t provide questions/confidentiality agreement signed.
