I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at RTX in Nov 2011
Interview
I was interviewing for full time, not internship. Got invited to 2 day college hiring event after having on-campus interview (simple behavioral/resume stuff). First day is largely a waste of time except for the free food (dinner is AMAZING, open bar reception etc etc). The dress code is a bit over the top in my opinion (suit + tie required for a lot of the events). Plant tour is a lot of walking...not much interesting...cubicle city in the middle of the desert. Second day is interviews. MASSIVE amount of interviews going on simultaneously (20+)...not an intimate setting at all.
2 department managers and 1 HR rep at the table (who looked bored) . I got the feeling through the whole process that they know whether they want you or not before you even start talking...so I didn't need to do a whole lot of "selling myself". My interview only lasted 25 minutes (formal interview questions like teamwork, previous projects, etc etc) then I spent 20 minutes talking about the company with them and asking questions. Got email same night saying they were making offer. Formal call 3 days later. 10 calendar days to accept/decline.
No technical questions were asked. They want to see how well you can problem solve (engineering...obviously) and work with others. Everyone was polite. Very well organized event.
Out of ~100 people at the event about 50% got offers (full time / intern combined).

What is your experience with full stack development?
Received screening phone call with basic questions. Then, was invited to a Zoom interview with the hiring manager and 2 other software engineers. They asked me mostly behavioral questions and a couple technical questions about C. No leetcode style questions.
Fairly easy, just 1 virtual 30 minute interview of some technical questions on tree Data Structure, such as Binary Tree. Other than that, fairly easy questions. Consisted of questions about me and my experience mainly. Then talked about the company itself.
