I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at RTX (Chantilly, VA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Disjointed at best. First a phone interview with 3 people, then a face to face interview. I arrived at the Chantilly office, and they the interview was conducted in a conference room that was occupied by someone else not associated with the interview. They stayed there and continued to work on their laptop. I won't apply to Raytheon again.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Goleta, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I met them at their office, was asked mostly just resume related questions. Nothing too difficult, no behavioral questions, more just experience related questions. It was a quick interview, lasted about 30 mins, with two people asking the questions. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxed, and conversational, it felt more informal than most job interviews do. It was a pleasant experience overall that felt more like a expansion on my resume and an opportunity to meet in person and get to know each other.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at RTX in Sep 2016
Interview
I approached the recruiter at a career fair and got offered an interview for a cybersecurity internship. Mostly an interest questionnaire and basic programming/skills review since I was a freshman. The interview process was very smooth, and the recruiter and interviewer were friendly. The interview was extremely casual, and I learned some new things during it.
