I applied online. I interviewed at Metron, Inc. (Reston, VA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out and stated they would like to learn about my background. When I joined phone call it was a strictly technical interview, didn't ask me about my background or anything; seemed very unexcited and expected way too much for entry level position.
Thank you for your initial interest in Metron, I am sorry this is the impression you were left with. We will take this feedback into consideration as we plan future interviews.

I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Metron, Inc. (Reston, VA) in Nov 2025
Interview
First had an 1.5 hour online interview, 30 minutes with HR and 1 hr with a technical software engineer. The engineer asked me about my resume / experiences for 30 minutes and then pulled up a CoderPad for me to solve a leetcode style question.
I made it to the final round, which was a 5-hour in person series of interviews. It began with an tour / QA with the HR head, then two 1-hour long interviews with software engineers - both of which asked me a few questions and then had me do leet code questions on a whiteboard. Then I had a 1 hour interview with two directors, who also talked to me for quite a while about my experiences and also finished with a leet code problem. Then lastly I had a "demo" meeting where a software engineer asked me about a problem and how I would solve it before showing me what the company did to solve it.

There are two technical interview rounds plus a final interview that is 5 hours long. The first technical was some debugging and simple method writing in Java/Python, and the second technical was writing a few simple methods about tree traversals and binary search trees.
