I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NASA in Apr 2016
Interview
I had two different phone interviews with two of the scientists involved in the project I would be working on, one of whom would be my mentor. After the initial phone screen, I was invited to an onsite interview where I was asked mostly behavioral questions and questions about my experience, and one technical question. (The role was a Python programming role)

Question 1
If you had a large file of words mapped to their definitions, what would be the best data structure to use?
Bro they put in a teams call with 3 other teams that I didn't apply to without warning and they ALL asked me questions. They legit read my resume in that exact moment, a lot of them had no idea the interview was happening until they got the teams invite.
