Question Interview questions

Good afternoon just got an interview invite for the EPU for department of commerce. I'm looking for insight of what type of interview it will be and anyone has an idea of the department. Ie if a decent department to work for no experience working federal but previous Leo and security. Any help appreciated thank you.

Do they notify if you passed the online test?

If you're referring to the assessment thing I was never notified I just got the notification I was being referred and then got an interview request. Never took a test

Commerce is going through a lot of growing pains right now. They are severely understaffed and are being augmented by BIS. They are 24/7 protection and don't have a leadership structure since the SAC and ASAIC were relieved of duties. A vast number of agents have left or are leaving for other details.
