Received an email about two weeks after applying on USA Jobs. Had a phone interview that lasted about 20 minutes. Interviewer called me and the conversation was between me and 3 interviewers. Interviewer went through a predefined list of questions while on the phone. Received an offer a week later.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at SEC (Washington, DC) in Feb 2025
Interview
I completed an online application and specified my divisions of interest. Then, I was contacted to interview with a professional. Later, I was extended an offer with ten days to respond.
Takes a while to get to the interview as they do background check, but once there appears to go quickly (I heard back within a week, and I believe others had similar experiences)
The interview process was as expected, and the questions were pretty standard for the internship application process. I had several rounds of interviews over the phone, and all went very smoothly. The interviewers answered my questions very easily.
