      Anonymous interview candidate
      Tacoma, WA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IRS (Tacoma, WA) in Dec 2009

      Interview

      The interview process was not very challenging. The people were very professional and a pleasure to meet. The process consisted of: 1:1 interview fitness test exam panel interview It was a good experience but very painful waiting over a month for a response. I found out that they are really looking for someone who can speak 2 or more languages, so if you don't you really do not have much of a chance.
