Got referred to the position by a friend who worked for CSC. Was scheduled for a phone interview with the Prime Contractor within two weeks of submitting the application. Prime Contractor did a technical interview, they seemed like they wanted a programmer not a analyst. Was told that I was the prime candidate until the position was re-evaluated and eliminated.

The recruiters were clueless and very slow to respond

A little strange. I was prepared to be grilled and answer a lot of detailed and curve-ball questions about my background and experience. Instead the three people I interviewed with all seemed to be more concerned about getting to know me. Once I joined I discovered that team fit was a bigger concern than discussing the minutae of my resume. Made sense when a poor fit for th team I worked on was hired - it was very disruptive of a team that otherwise hummed like a precision tool.
