They contacted me several weeks after I applied online, then scheduled an interview 2 weeks away. There was an online group networking meeting the week before the interview. Their was an information session on the company the day before. The process to get to this point was relatively time consuming, but they kept me well informed. The day of, I interviewed with 3 people of varying experience. It was pretty relaxed but still professional. I just walked them through my entire resume and they asked questions along the way.

Question 1
Walk us through your resume and explain how it relates to the position and skills we want.
Very laid back, more having a conversation about the role and what I would be doing than technical questions. Asked a lot of questions about my experience on my resume and my projects in college.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
Incredibly standard, asked pretty boiler plate questions. Definitely would say that they asked more about personal projects than I expected. Overall a very pleasant experience and they were very easy people to deal with.
Entry level position, was mostly behavioral and required technical explanation of my previous experiences. Seemed to look for how I answered my questions and how I thought through my answers.
