I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ) in Jun 2008
Interview
Very easy and efficient. Got hired on straight out of college. Interviewed in June during a mass interviewing session they were holding in town. Very well organized, interviewed for a job I applied for and two other jobs they thought I was qualified for, and everyone I met was very friendly. Had 3 panel interviews with 2-4 Raytheon employees and actually got a job that I didnt apply too and loved. After interviewing in June I recieved my formal offer in July and started in August. They were very willing to work with my timing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where I saw my career going in 5-10 years. As a new grad I had no clue.
Was introduced as behavioral but was fairly technical. Asked a few technical questions about subjects of your choice. Discussed past experiences from my resume and what I would do in other technical scenarios.
Super easy, hired as a contractor before being as a full time employee. Regular onboarding: tons of paperwork, background checks.
Took about a week to get all details ironed out before being thrown into the deep end. Peers more than willing to help out with the getting up to speed.
Very laid back, more having a conversation about the role and what I would be doing than technical questions. Asked a lot of questions about my experience on my resume and my projects in college.
