I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lawrence Berkeley Lab (Berkeley, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
The interview was very casual and not difficult at all. Registration was required upon visit due to the level of security. The administrator (interviewer) showed me around the lab and then ask a few questions about my major, my interest and my availability of work. Later, since this is a government run organization, there is another person in charge from HR who took a background check.

Question 1
Technical questions and behavioral, informal interview.
I knew one of the scientists in the lab who helped me get the job, so my hiring is probably not indicative of the normal process. After getting hired, you need to do a lot of training that can take almost an entire week--a little tedious but not too bad.

Interview
It was just a phone call with questions on research questions, It is probably very hard and people need to prepare a lot of research and open-ended questions. The interview was great
