I applied online. I interviewed at PAE (Fairfax, VA) in Dec 2020
Interview
The interview was over the phone. Very descriptive of the job and the interviewer thoroughly checked my resume for my experience and let me go into detail during the interview about it.

Question 1
Q: what are your career goals and how does PAE fit into them?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PAE (Falls Church, VA) in Aug 2022
Interview
2 interviews. Both were super easy. 1st one was just a pre phone screen with a recruiter to talk about the job and goals. 2nd interview with another higher up to discuss some more in-depth questions about you and some on job questions which were super easy..no way to mess up on them they want you to be honest. takes about a few days for them to follow up again with offer letter and now just waiting on background check

Question 1
what is your biggest strength/weakness? if someone was sleeping on the job what would you do?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at PAE
Interview
Security guard position that sponsored for a TS clearance. Responded to email that I was interested and set up an interview time. Mentioned that I was located in another state so couldn't attend in person and was told I'd be sent a Sparkhire link to do the interview remotely. By the agreed upon time no link was sent and I never received a response to my follow up emails about what happened regarding the interview. I sat there with a suit on only to be ghosted.
It is obvious to me that this was a bottom-feeding contracting company with a high turnover and no goals other than billing the government. Working for it could be of use as a stepping stone such as getting a clearance or those Antartica jobs they post, but I couldn't imagine making a career out of a company that operates this way.
