I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Carahsoft in May 2023
Interview
I applied in early May 2023 and heard back about a month later. I had to play phone tag with the recruiter even though she had emailed me and could have scheduled a call that way. I had my first interview over the phone June 30th. She had my fill out a extensive application, that asked if i was interviewing any where else and wanted me to provide them company names and where i was in the process (🚩). From then on anytime i communicated with her, she made sure to ask about my other interview. Then on I was strung along having to reach out by calling and emailing the recruiter to get updates. She kept saying “it’s a busy time right now for management.” Not sure if they hired someone for the position or they just didn’t want to move forward with me, just wish she would have let me know instead of dragging on the process. My last communication with the recruiter was early September 2023. She left me a voicemail about management being busy and i never called her back. I have actually companies who are hiring to spend my time on.

I applied online. I interviewed at Carahsoft (Washington, DC) in Mar 2026
Interview
My interview process was similar to other reviews. I was paired with a recruiter who walked me through the process, which was so helpful and I felt so prepared for each step. It started with two calls with the recruiter before getting to talk with the team I would join. Then I had a final interview that presented me with an offer at the end. Very smooth and consistent experience!

Interview
You’re in contact with a recruiter the entire time who preps you for the interview. The recruiter will match you with a team that is hiring after passing the initial screening. The team specific interview is long, since it’s basically 3 people rotating in to interview you. However it’s fairly easy, a mix of technical, behavioral, and get to know you questions. Everyone was so personable and kind!
