I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at General Atomics (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
Several phone calls followed by a day long interview process. I was interviewed by several groups for 30min to an hour each time. There was little communication between the groups so I answered some of the same questions multiple times. The entire process took a few months which is a little ridiculous for people looking for their first job.
