I applied online. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD)
Interview
I contacted the lab through their website as a new graduate. I was contacted by the college recruiting office and set up a day-long on-site interview which included a 45 minute presentation on my graduate research.
The day consisted of numerous 45 minute 1-1 interviews with different members of 3 different groups. Since I hadn't applied for any specific position, a lot of the time was spent listening to them describe what their group does. Lunch was provided.

Question 1
They asked me technical questions about my research presentation.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD)
Interview
Very straightforward questions that were more behavioral than technical. I think it was very fair and they allowed me to take time to answer things thoughtfully and carefully. Prepare well and it will be very easy.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD) in Sept 2022
Interview
It was really smooth. First I had a zoom interview with recruiter who strictly went over benefits and policies. After that I gave them green light to proceed ahead with in person interview that was 4 hours long. I would meet with different individual for 30-40 minutes and depending on their expertise, they would ask technical question such as how would you solve this problem or behavioral questions, or in general they would look for whether i can contribute in a conversation about some topic that they are working on
