      Declined offer

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at RTX

      Interview

      Hiring manager reached out to confirm interest by phone. After confirming my interest there were three separate one hour remote web interviews with video, each conducted by teams of two or three, including the hiring manager, three other supervisors on site, two experienced peers on site, and the site HR professional. Questions were STAR type and intended to gauge personality and soft skills as much as technical expertise. Truly a very positive overall experience.
