I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Jacobs (Arlington, VA) in Nov 2011
Interview
The first interview was a phone interview for about an hour with my direct manager. After a week or so, I received an email asking me to come in for a face to face. A week later I interviewed with my direct manager, the gentleman I was replacing and my managers boss. I interviewed for almost 2 hours and it was very thorough.
