I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ICF (Fairfax, VA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Phone screen, followed by multiple one on one interviews over the course of a single day. Interviewers asked both technical and behaviorally based questions, but did not use a structured protocol, as each interviewer asked slightly different questions. Interviewers provided information about the role and provided candid answers to questions.
