I applied online. I interviewed at RTX (Boston, MA) in Apr 2022
Interview
It was a straight forward process. They asked questions mostly about projects and teamwork rather than specific coursework ones. STAR inter view format was the main basis of the interview.
I was email that I had made it to the next phase that was a 30 minute phone screening. The screening was with a current member of the design team. It was a more relaxed conversation to see if I was really a good fit for the team.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at RTX in Oct 2021
Interview
The hiring manager called me directly for an initial phone interview. Approximately one week after the phone interview, a panel interview via zoom was scheduled with three section heads, the department manager, and a few SME’s.
Within one day of the panel interview a verbal offer was issued and one week later a formal offer letter was issued.
