The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
Submitted my resume for the position a year previouse. Recieved a phone call out of the blue a year later asking me if I was interesded in the systems engineer job. I said yes. I talked to the manager for a half hour and then scheduled a sit down interview and a presentation for an hour in front of 30 people. It went well and I recieved an offer the next day.
