Question 1
Describe the RMF process and what steps of RMF do you have experience with?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Washington, DC) in Aug 2024
Interview
Straightforward. Apply to a position (several in my case) online, and then a recruiter from one of those teams reached out.
Recruiters have specialties such as "DevOps for customer X" or "software engineering for customer Y." My recruiter was unsure about two of the three teams I applied to such as what exactly they were looking for or any more details on the job descriptions.
The recruiter asked that I apply to a placeholder position. I did, and that was the only interview they put forward. I verified "this isn't the actual job right? Because that's not what I want to do." The recruiter said "no, this is for all the jobs you applied to."
That was false. It was for a SWE role with tasks and a customer I wasn't interested in. No one aside from the undesirable role was on the interview.
The team I interviewed with was nice. The interview wasn't difficult, and the people were nice. I would give them a thumbs up with they recruiter had followed through on my other apps.
