Interview
I applied for tow positions at Raytheon in Tucson, both Director 1 level postings. I was contacted by the JR HR Recruiter and later handed off to the Senior Talent Acquisition manager. Both were professional and on time for all meetings. In the panel there were 3 VPs, one senior director and an HR person. All were prepared with my resume and had done some of their own background searches.

Question 1
They asked me to go through my resume with them - something I had not fully prepared for - but that was fine and I was able to expand on other areas I trimmed to make it fit on 2 pages. Other areas asked included time for me to explain what I would have to offer the company, what is your biggest weakness or fault... The interview lasted about an hour and then the Senior VP came in for an additional 1/2 hour. He asked for some specific skill sets that I did not have and didn't try to make it look like I did. I was asked back for a second interview which was more collegial than the first but with many of the same questions.

Interview
Overall, great process. Application was responded to within 6 business days by recruiters wishing to set up initial interviews. Ultimately had three interviews across hiring manger, HR, and cross-functional teams. Challenging interview but good with advanced prep. Non-STAR format.
