I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Newport News, VA) in May 2008
Interview
I was told from the beginning and for the duration of the interview that I was unqualified and would not like working in this particular department. Despite having listed my college degree and major field of study (physics), I was told that my degree had nothing to do with work at the shipyard. This made me ask exactly why I was being interviewed in the first place because I kept my degree and major no secret. I asked several times why I wouldn't like working in that department, and the question was ignored.
Within the first few minutes of the interview, I was being shown the door without an opportunity for me to ask questions, so I asked anyway. When I asked about educational opportunities and training within the company, I was directed to a social networking site that had nothing at all to do with training opportunities. Before leaving the interview, I was told that it didn't matter about my interview because they needed someone to start right away, and I was not immediately available due to my having to give notice at my current job.
Funny enough, I was called one month later with an offer for the job. That didn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about accepting the offer.
Had an Introductory call with recruiter, One hour behavioral interview with manager, pretty standard questions for entry level engineer that were not too technical. No presentation needed and on-boarding was smooth
The questions were mostly all behavioral. There was 1 question where they just wanted me to describe a project. They wanted to know how I approached the problem, what resources I used, if I ran into any problems and how I overcame them.

Question 1
The questions were mostly all behavioral. 1 question just wanted me to describe a project.
Pretty easy and the questions were pretty basic and it was cool and I got an offer and everything was straight forward only one panel interview which is rare these days.
