First I received an email in reply to my initial application. I had to fill out a short questionnaire about my ambitions, my strengths and weaknesses, etc. I then had a phone interview a few days later discussing my answers to the questionnaire. I was then invited to come for an in-person interview in Columbia, MD. I with HR person, was questioned about my past work history. Then I they introduced me to an employee in the position I was applying for to see how the job is in action. She tried to explain a somewhat confusing metrics by which their performance is rated and bonuses are depended upon. Then I was introduced to one of the managers who droned on very monotonously about position specifics and I had trouble staying focused. Two weeks later I received a letter of rejection.
