I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTX in Mar 2010
Interview
Contacted by talent acquisition rep who saw my resume online and thought I would be a fit. Scheduled an interview at the Tewksbury, MA location and arranged for travel, lodging, and rental car for the day the interviews would happen. The interviews were 20 minutes each with 3 people. Others were at the interview event and we all sat in the same waiting room. Received an offer 3 days later, but was fairly sure I got the job when they kept me, but not all other interviewees afterward for a presentation on benefits and relocation package.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you convince very senior engineers (25+ years of experience) that your idea is correct?
Was introduced as behavioral but was fairly technical. Asked a few technical questions about subjects of your choice. Discussed past experiences from my resume and what I would do in other technical scenarios.
Super easy, hired as a contractor before being as a full time employee. Regular onboarding: tons of paperwork, background checks.
Took about a week to get all details ironed out before being thrown into the deep end. Peers more than willing to help out with the getting up to speed.
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.
