I applied in-person. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at National Security Agency (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2011
Interview
It was an 8 month process. The longest portion was the security review. If they are interested, you will receive a conditional offer early on in the process. That does not yet mean that you have actually received the job. You will undergo individual interviews, psychological screening, possibly a polygraph and intense personal scrutiny in order to gain a clearance.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at National Security Agency (Fort Meade, MD) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview process consisted of a writing assessment, aptitude test and video interview. They were all timed tests, which determined your ability to work under pressure. The video interview was a little awkward, not the questions themselves but the time you had to think of your answer and watching the timer count down as you answered.

HireVue webcam interview with limited time to answer the questions. It was definitely a unique experience. Once you got over the fact of speaking into a camera it began to flow moderately easy.

Interview
A set of standard questions related to my past experiences and why I would like to work there. Very open-ended, so I felt able to share everything I wanted to share.
