I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Washington, DC) in Feb 2014
Interview
Phone screen. Very basic questions surrounding experience as it relates to position. No behavioral or technical questions. The recruiter simply checked to see if I met the basic qualifications for the position and then scheduled a second phone interview with hiring manager \team. I declined the interview because I was not interested in the position after getting further details from the recruiter.

Interview
The recruiting manager interviewed me over the phone for 30 minutes and then I went in for the in-person interview in Colorado Springs. Had to drive there from 120 miles away. The project manager was very pleasant but the technical interview was very difficult as the technical management asked questions many graduate students do not know. They seemed that they were unimpressed and had already had a guy that they were going to hire.

Interview
Very thorough and detail oriented. They will pick apart you resume and ask for examples of everything. Make sure you do you research not only about the position and job requirements but also about the organization and the specific project you are applying for. If they give you a post interview assignment DO IT! do it within 24 hours of receiving the instructions. The assignment adds a lot of value to the interview process.
