I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at IRS in Jun 2016
Interview
First, complete online application. Second, wait for an online questionnaire/assessment. This typically takes 3 months or so. I suggest not to log off any time during the questionnaire/assessment process. Take your time during this part since there is no time limit. There will be a few accounting related questions. And there will be a few tax code related questions, nothing that should be too difficult if you have experience researching the tax code.

Question 1
These are situational. Take time and care to review the supplemental info they provide you in hypothetical taxpayers.
I attended a direct hiring career event for LB&I in April 2024. I was interviewed by a panel of 3 senior revenue agents, they asked me behavioral questions (tell me about a time when you faced a stressful situation, tell me about a time when you had to juggle multiple deadlines, etc.) and also questions on which tax forms I had experience with.

It was a virtual panel style interview over teams with at 2 managers. I have heard there can be up to five on the panel. They do not ask personal questions. Long silences while they make notes.

SLOW. From submitting my resume to an interview went quick, job offer was slow. In person interview was just six-questions, but still lasted an hour. Both people from the IRS were very friendly though.
