I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTX (El Segundo, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Applied online and heard back from HR 2 weeks later. Interviewed by senior engineer and two other engineers on site a week later. Thought it went well and was shown around the office for Air Traffic Controls to meet others who worked there. Was told by one of the engineers while being walked out that I would hear back in a week. Did not hear back, emailed and called him without a response, and eventually got automated email 2 weeks later. Poor communication after being impressed with on site interview team and work culture while visiting.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Amherst, MA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied through my university career portal. 1st round of interviews was on-campus. There were 3 different interviewers in the room and it was a little intimidating. They asked a bunch of behavioral interview questions. There was no time at the end for me to ask any questions. I received an invitation to participate in the final round of interviews in Texas. The final round consists of 2 1/2 days in Texas with a group case study interview and 6 behavioral interviews.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Tewksbury, MA) in Nov 2015
Interview
I felt like a sheep. But I am biased because I see myself as more of a small company person, and I mostly did this interview to see what happened. It was my first on-site interview.
There were a few logistical errors that I would have expected a company like Raytheon to avoid. For example, they didn't give us a schedule, so I scheduled my departure flight too early. They rearranged the schedule so that we could all make our flights.
They did a company overview and then interviews. There were maybe 50 students across a few fields. The overview was mostly talking about benefits and the company's history.
The interviews were short, maybe 20-25 minutes with engineers. I had three interviews. My first one was 90% the guy talking, who knows what he was even talking about at this point. One piece of advice he gave me was to 'find the company you want, find the location you want, and then you can get married and have kids.' Right. The second and third one were more what I was expecting. We talked about my leadership position, my coding experience, the project I am involved in right now, things like that. It didn't seem very prepared, no tricky questions, mostly describing the position, looking over my resume, and then asking if I had any questions. It kind of felt like I was talking to a friend's dad.
One nice thing was that we found out that day whether we would get an offer or not.
