I applied online. I interviewed at Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (Glen Burnie, MD) in Apr 2024
Interview
The interview was quite straightforward, and not super technical. They wanted me to go over my resume and explain coursework/projects/research etc. The primary focus seemed to be verifying whether or not I would be a good cultural fit. They let my resume and qualifications speak for themselves, rather than having an intense technical interview round.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kratos Defense & Security Solutions in May 2026
Interview
I had two interviews. The first was technical, involving the current ISSM and their manager, and focused more on the day-to-day aspects of the role. The second was with the Director and his deputy, and it was a rapid-fire session of questions about qualifications.
