I applied online. I interviewed at Leidos (Baltimore, MD) in Jul 2017
Interview
Painfully long and useless. It took 4+ months right from pre-screen round to Onsite results.
I was contacted in April 1st week for my application. I was asked few basic question regarding technologies I know. After 1 week I was scheduled for a phone round with Hiring Manager. Later on I forgot about the company as it had been 2 months since the phone round. June first week I was given a call again for an onsite round which was scheduled for June last week. They paid for all expenses including Flight, Hotel stay and a rental Car for transportation. As I am unable to drive I did not take the rental car and told them that I will arrange my own transportation using Uber. I got an email stating that I can submit Uber receipts for reimbursement which I never asked for. Onsite was pretty avg few SQL questions Tableau exercise, Java, Python exercises. The interview was pretty ok and people were friendly. I was told that it will take 2 weeks for the results. I waited for 5 weeks for their onsite result and what I got was an automated email stating that they are not moving forward. Thank god they didn't select me if they don't have any empathy towards applicants it shows what kind of work culture do they have. PS I am yet to receive my reimbursement amount after 6 weeks!!!
The process was simple. First we looked aty resume, then we delved into my technical details. After that weolked at hypotheticals. Overall, the process was streamlined and simple. The process was also short.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Leidos (Reston, VA)
Interview
Do not waste your time. This company will string you along for months, put you through unnecessary panel interviews with people who have different ideas of what the position needs that do not align with each other. In the middle of the process they will lower the compensation offered dramatically assuming you are already committed so you will accept that they changed the terms mid-process. Again, do not waste your time. These people have no idea what they want. You could be spending precious time on better opportunities.
I had a very positive interview expereince specially with recruiter Heather Nguyen. she was very professional and explained about the whole process. the very special and unique thing about leidos is they provide feedback after interview even if you were not selected!
Thanks Heather!
