I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Washington, DC) in Oct 2016
Interview
several phone screen interviews before reaching a real decision maker. this was a clearance required position and for a distant place with a rather long drive. Once I was with a division head , the questions became properly technical. I found BOOZE to be totally inflexible. After several interviews and in a demand field when the firm is short of people, I have had great success negotiating. These folks denied a 4 days by 10 hour schedule for a candidate coming 75 miles away - each way.

Interview
Recruiter set up a panel interview with 4-5 people. During the interview they were grilling me on foundational security, and multiple case interview. A lot of technical questions, and no behavior. Roughly around 20+ questions, which relevant to the role. I enjoy the process since I dislike "Describe the time" STAR format.
