I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ICF (Arlington, VA) in May 2026
Interview
This position was a SETA Analyst for ML/AI. After applying for the analyst position, I received an email to screen me for qualifications within a week. After I was screened, I had a panel interview with the director, project manager, and HR. I didn't receive an offer. I am a recent PhD graduate, and they wanted someone with more professional experience.
