I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NIST (Gaithersburg, MD) in Aug 2021
Interview
I did not have to complete any sort of interview process. I talked with the project lead about projects I was interested in working on, and went over my previous research experience, but there was no official interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NIST (Berlin) in Feb 2019
Interview
Interviewer contacted with me email. They canceled the interview in the first week. They postponed the interview one week. My observation if you are coming science/engineering background this is not the place for you.
