Average interview

Application

I interviewed at USDA Food and Nutrition Service

Interview

Was interviewed twice by the director and a BC, later again with another analyst. The questions were scenario based and not too difficult. The interviews were really laid back. Was not extended an offer but it looked like a good place to work and great work culture
