Interview
Everyone here has already described most of the interview process accurately. A few comments that have not been mentioned. Because of the funding, there are over three thousand positions that are now being filled through several channels (Direct Hire events, rosters, etc). I selected that I didn't get an offer because I don't know. There is a 4-6 week backlog with HR. They now have to process all the decisions flowing in. While the managers may have informed HR of their decision within a week of the interview, HR is backlogged by the additional hires.

Question 1
READ every question and answer here and on Reddit. They really helped me. Depending on whether you will have behavioral interview questions or tax technical ones, you want to focus on those. Field examiners will have behavioral questions, no tax technical ones. The one question not on Glassdoor or Reddit: You arrive for a scheduled appointment, taxpayer has all the records but they can't meet with you. What do you do?
