The process took 1 day. I interviewed at U.S. Government Accountability Office (Washington, DC) in Feb 2010
Interview
I filled out the application on USAjobs.gov. I was called to set up an interview about two months later. My interview was scheduled for my half birthday (February 10, 2010) during the Washington D.C. snow storms so I was stood up for the first scheduled interview, but we re rescheduled :)
I was supposed to be interviewed by a panel, but because there were people missing from the office there was only one gentleman and our conversation was recorded. They asked me about times when I was part of a team, how I prioritized projects, and my writing. It was very conversational and we talked more about his experience after the "interview" portion was over. We had a very honest conversation about the two positions I was being interviewed for and the pros and cons. The people I ended up working with were fantastic. The colleagues I found at the GAO were top notch.

Hour and a half interview with standard behavioral and experience interview questions. Mostly were curious about experience managing projects or programs and conducting research. Was done with two upper-level staff analysts at GAO, who alternated in asking questions. They were friendly, but all GAO applicants are asked a standard list of questions.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at U.S. Government Accountability Office (Pittsburgh, PA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I first applied to the U.S. Government Accountability Office via the USA Jobs website in November 2015. After about 90 days, I was notified via email of my selection for an interview that would take place the first week of February. The actual interview consisted of a 90-minute phone call with a panel of interviewers calling in from across the country. A current employee welcomed me to the call and answered any question I had about the agency or position. After about another 4 weeks, an offer was made via email.
