I attended a college career fair and was not initially going to speak to the Navy Federal Credit Union people but there was no one waiting at their table so I went over to chat. I met a friendly and pleasant recruiter who took and reviewed my resume, said it looked impressive, and asked me to apply for an open Business Operations Analyst position on their website. I ended up not applying for the position, but the recruiter called me maybe a month or two later and asked if I wanted to come in for an interview. I said yes, and was asked to fill out the usual employment forms prior to the interview as well as an essay question: "Describe one of your most meaningful achievements and how it relates to your future goals". The interview was held at the Navy Federal HQ in Vienna, VA. The campus is relatively large and well kept, and is kind of tucked away in a Vienna residential neighborhood. I arrived to the main building early and told the woman at the front desk that I was there for an interview, and she said she would call the recruiter to pick me up. I think she must have forgotten about me because it was 10 minutes past my interview start time before she finally called the recruiter to come get me. The recruiter came and led me through the main office area which is a large open atrium type area with maybe three floors surrounded by cubicles and offices. I was taken to a small interview room where two managers were waiting to interview me. They were both wearing khakis and polo shirts, in fact most employees I saw were dressed fairly casually. The interview lasted about an hour and consisted of typical "get to know you" questions as well as a series of behavioral interview questions. There was time at the end for me to ask my own questions about the job and the organization. The managers were easy going and gave me time to gather my thoughts when answering questions. However, the series of interview questions was quite long, and at times it felt more like the managers were just going down the list of questions, rather than allowing the interview to develop organically and conversationally. At the end of the interview, one of the managers indicated that second round interviews might be conducted, while the other implied that just the one interview would be sufficient (I think they were each looking to hire someone). After the interview I did not receive any type of contact from anyone at Navy Federal letting me know whether I was selected for the position or not.

The first stage was a quick phone screen with the recruiter, followed by an interview with the hiring manager and then a final interview with the VP of the group.
