Pasadena, CAPosted Nov 2010 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Software Engineer role at JPL through an on-campus panel process that felt moderately standard, with a few light hiccups, and ended without an offer.

On-campus panel — I expected three interviewers, but one didn’t show; the remaining interviewers each covered general questions about my coursework and why JPL, plus specifics about why I’d fit their teams, all within a shared hour.
Post-interview review — At the end, I was told they’d forward my information for team review rather than giving immediate feedback. Outcome: I didn’t move forward to an offer, but the process was organized enough that my materials were clearly routed to relevant teams.
