I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at RTX BBN Technologies (Middletown, RI) in Dec 2013
Interview
Easy, casual, just met the upper management with minimal technical questions. Very friendly half day interview then they took me out to lunch. Informal but very friendly atmosphere that was reflected upon my employment after getting an offer.

Question 1
All social questions and perhaps a couple on what my background was.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RTX BBN Technologies (Cambridge, MA) in Aug 2019
Interview
The process was a half hour phone call followed by a very long full day onsite, which I had to fly in for. One engineer called me for a simple half hour phone call to talk about their business unit. Then they invited me in for a full day onsite. Just before the onsite (two business days before), they had me fill out a new application form (I had to fill it out before I arrived), which I later found out in the rejection email was for a completely different position. (They gave me a link to the form entry page, rather than the position description page. Later I checked my dashboard and matched the application date and position name to the name in the rejection email). The onsite was barely technical. It was 8 hours of back-to-back 45 minute chats with 9-10 different scientists. None of them was the scientist I had the half hour phone interview with. I found out after the interview, in the rejection email, that I was being considered for a position that I had no interest in, rather than the one I originally applied for. So, yes, my interview process was highly negative.

Interview
This was my experience from 2012.
Applied online and got a phone screen from Lead scientist in the group a week after. Since I was not in US they asked if I can come to US for an onsite. I said no because I need a VISA to go to US. They then arranged a Skype/telephone interview. During the hour long interview I gave a talk via telephone while sharing slides via Skype screensharing. After the talk there were technical questions about my talk, do I have offers from other companies etc.
Soon after hanging up hiring manager called to say they were planning to give me an offer. I was given an offer the next day.

Five one hour long technical interviews with different people on the team, plus lunch, and a brief meeting with an HR person. Questions were primarily whiteboard coding questions and follow up questions about items on my resume, very few behavioral questions were asked.
