I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Leidos in Jan 2015
Interview
It was a hiring event. Laid back conversation about prior experiences and knowledge with a short discussion of future plans. The recruiters made me feel at home and discussed the benefits and addressed any questions that I had. I expected to interview with more hiring managers, as there were about 4-5, but after talking with only one of them I was whisked back to speak to recruiters.
I applied online. I interviewed at Leidos (Manassas, VA)
Interview
There were two rounds of interviews with the same three interviewers. The first round was behavioral with a ~15 minute section for technical trivia questions. The second round was entire technical with 3 leetcode easy style questions. Both interviews took about 1 hour to complete.

Question 1
Explain a potential problem that might arise concurrent programs.
It was a pretty easy process—just one round of panel interviews. I didn’t receive a final offer because they didn’t win the contract. During the interview, they seemed quite confident they would win it, but in the end, they didn’t. So, please don’t stop applying to other positions until you receive a final offer from them.
