I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Leidos (Columbia, MD) in Dec 2016
Interview
Couple of phone calls to make sure you know what your talking about. It was very relaxed and calm for me, and we shared our similar experiences. I was then told they thought I was a great fit and I would be contacted soon with a formal offer letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions to make sure your resume matches your history.
Very smooth and mixture of technical and personal questions. Had 2 of them. Negotiation was difficult and they wouldn’t go up in salary. But the PTO and 401(k) was hard to pass up.
Typical phone screen asking behavioral STAR questions. General stuff like describing your previous experiences. Describe how you used data science and scripting tools to accomplish big data analytics in your previous jobs?

Very quick interview process. Professional interviewers stuck to topics at hand and respected my time frame. Took maybe 5-10 minutes at a maximum. Would recommend working for this company in the future.
