I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CIA (Reims) in Sep 2012
Interview
Je m'installe sur une chaise en face de mon interlocuteur, il m'interroge sans me tresser car il connaît ma valeur et me veut dans son équipe. Cela se passait à Reims en France et était fait par le D.R.H du journal l'Union, mais j'idéalise un peu car je n'aime pas être interrogée par un homme, surtout un chef qui veut toujours vous mettre à l'épreuve dans ce genre d'entretien.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at CIA (Washington, DC) in Jun 2018
Interview
Submitted application online and got an email a week later to finish a language test and reasoning test and personality test. Didn't hear back after that, so assuming that I did not get the position.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at CIA in Oct 2015
Interview
A couple months after I submitted my application, I received an email asking me to do online testing and fill out a personal questionnaire (hobbies, the college classes you like most and least, etc.). The online testing was pretty challenging; there was an IQ test and writing prompt. A month or two later, I was asked to fly over to DC for an in-person interview. The atmosphere was very casual while waiting for the interview with a group of 15 or so, however the actual interview was in a very small room at a small table with 3 people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a research project that you have completed, and the role that you took.
Applied online and was sent a questionnaire about a week later. After submitting that, I was asked to take a series of online assessments, including a writing test and an aptitude test. They then gave me a phone interview, which seemed pretty standard. Most of the questions asked about my previous work experience.
