I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Washington, DC) in May 2024
Interview
Three step process.
1. Writing Sample
2. Case Interview
3. Behavioral Interview
These are all structured and they have a set of questions they ask every candidate. There is time to ask questions at the end of the interview. They are encouraged not to deviate from the structured interview.

Question 1

I interviewed at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Interview
Structured interview for about an hour. Very basic questions, tell me about your experience, why did you apply, etc. There was a panel of interviewers of varying degrees of attentiveness.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to navigate differences among stakeholders.

Interview
Structured interview with very formulaic questions. Hard to tell if there was a leading candidate, the questions did not give a sense of the actual job. Not a lot of time at the end to discuss my questions about the job.
