I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ) in May 2018
Interview
I applied online and was contacted about two weeks later to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was much more of a conversation about my experiences and other items listed on my resume. That same day I got an email inviting me to a "hiring event" similar to the event described in other reviews. The first day consisted of a security briefing, information session about the company, and tours of some facilities with other people who are interviewing for the same team as you. At the information session they stressed that you're not competing directly against other people at the event for positions and it's more about seeing if you as an individual would be a good fit for the company. The first night there was a networking session which was like a cocktail hour where you could meet employees from other teams and potentially get additional interviews. The second day was for interviews. I ended up getting multiple additional interviews from the networking event and found that I was more interested in a different team than the one that invited me and ultimately accepted an offer from that team. Overall the event was very well run and everybody at Raytheon involved, as well as the other candidates, were very friendly. The fact that Raytheon covered the trip expenses was a nice added bonus.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Similar to the phone interview, questions about experiences in conjunction with my Resume. This seemed to be common with most engineering entry level positions.
