The hiring process was entirely too long. I interviewed previously for a contracts position. Several months later I was called about a completely different position. The interview process was deceitful in regards to expected day to day responsibilities and work environment. The interview consisted of several different groups of people asking basically the same questions. Standard behavioral and technical contracts questions were asked. However, in hind-sight the interviews seemed rushed, like they were too busy and needing to get back to their proposals. I should have noticed then that this was not a good sign. The schedule was scattered as I had finished and been escorted out of the building, only to be called 10minutes later on my way home to turn around and come back to speak to yet another level of management.

Initial phone interview from recruiter, then flown out to DC for group interview with multiple interviewers and many interviewees and you wait in line for 5-10 minute interview, After interviewers get together and decided if they like you are think you can help... Then offer is made with contention on background check, security clearance ect...
