I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD) in Dec 2017
Interview
I was invited on-site and asked to present my PhD research + take questions for an hour. I then spent approximately 6 hours in interviews with multiple groups at JHUAPL. I believe I had 9 interviews in total that day. It was a jam packed schedule because I had prior engagements and could not stay for more than one day. There was a short lunch break mid-afternoon during which time I was provided food. I only felt like I was being interviewed in 3 of the sessions. The remainder of the sessions were more informational and I was simply given info about the group. Afterward, I was asked to e-mail my recruiter with my top pick. My top pick was a match and I received an offer.

Interview
Morning began with a quick summary of APL structure. Followed by a one-hour-long PhD research presentation. Three one-hour-long panel interview sessions. Panel interviews are a combination of technical and behavioral.

Question 1
They asked me technical questions about my research presentation.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD)
Interview
Very straightforward questions that were more behavioral than technical. I think it was very fair and they allowed me to take time to answer things thoughtfully and carefully. Prepare well and it will be very easy.

Question 1
Explain "X" concept to me as if I were a high schooler?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD) in Sep 2022
Interview
It was really smooth. First I had a zoom interview with recruiter who strictly went over benefits and policies. After that I gave them green light to proceed ahead with in person interview that was 4 hours long. I would meet with different individual for 30-40 minutes and depending on their expertise, they would ask technical question such as how would you solve this problem or behavioral questions, or in general they would look for whether i can contribute in a conversation about some topic that they are working on
