I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Apr 2012
Interview
Got interview through employee referral. One on one phone interview with potential mentor. A few technical questions, mostly seemed to be gauging my interest and ability to pick up new things on the job. Asked a few solid modelling questions which were a bit difficult to answer over the phone.

Interview
The onsite interview was all day. I met with numerous experienced engineers and they asked many challenging technical questions related to various sub-disciplines of mechanical engineering. Questions had to be answered with pencil and paper, white board, or verbally.
