I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (El Segundo, CA)
Interview
The entire process was very quick. I submitted an online application for a recently posted position and within 2-3 days I was offered an on-site interview the following day (I live close by). I interviewed with two people: someone I would be working under, and a "younger engineer", one by one. Most questions were behavioral. All of the technical questions either related to my past experience, or asked me to draw parallels between the responsibilities of the position I was applying for and my past experience.
One of the interviewers gave me continual opportunities to ask questions. I thought of a lot of very specific questions in advance, and had them written down where I could slyly look at them, which was helpful.
The other interview was a very direct questions-answer interview, and was less conversational. The most difficult thing was to ensure I could answer quickly, so it didn't feel awkward. Having gone through lots of difficult STAR interview questions online was very helpful, because I had good examples ready for most questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Atlanta, GA) in Jun 2013
Interview
Filled out their application online, contacted by a recruiter the next day asking me to fill out a questionnaire. Couple days later, the recruiter emailed me again to see when I am available for an on-site interview. Since I live about 4 hours away (by car) from the interview site, the recruiter was accommodating and allowed me to change my original interview time, but NG didn't help with the relocation, so I had to spend my own money on gas.
After i arrived at the interview site, I checked in with the security and waited for the project manager, who was at least 10 minutes LATE for our scheduled interview. It was unprofessional and I was not impressed, but I thought the interview itself went well until the very end when the manager revealed that she has other candidates on her mind, by then I knew I wasn't going to get the position.
