I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
I was recruited via an on campus career fair. I was notified that I had an interview ~1 week after the career fair. Before my interview, the recruiters offered an interview prep session. They talked about what the interview would be like and tips for the interview. When I was here the recruiters told me my interview would be mostly behavioral. THIS WAS WRONG! My interview was almost exclusively technical, luckily I brushed up on my technical knowledge. The actual interview was ok though. I interviewed with one engineer in person. She was nice but grilled me a lot on my technical knowledge.
