I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Deltek (Herndon, VA)
Interview
First had a quick phone interview with the recruiter after submitting and application through their website. The next week I was asked about my salary expectations and then shortly after invited to come in for an interview. After the interview I was asked to submit a writing sample. I was offered the job a week later.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Deltek (Reston, VA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Fairly straightforward - initial screening with HR in a phone interview, followed by an in-person interview with the team manager. She also brought in another analyst to ask a few questions about my experience. Was fairly relaxed.

-Provide what you consider are your three best strengths and three weaknesses
The process took about two weeks. I applied online and it consisted of an initial phone interview with an in-house HR representative and then an in person interview with three members of the research team. The actual interview was straight-forward with pretty typical questions. I felt that it was a little impersonal, though. They seemed like they had already filled the position or didn't like what I had to offer.
