I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Raytheon (Tucson, AZ) in Nov 2020
Interview
Excellent 1 hour interview that was very two sided. I had the opportunity to ask all of my questions in a very open environment as well as be asked directly about my experience and skill set.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you interact with different disciplines and what is your ideal work flow and environment
Single panel video interview, general questions about my degree, projects on my resume, willingness to learn, and motivation for applying. Nothing too technical and very friendly interviewers. Prepare stories based on your resume and have them memorized. Show a genuine interest in the role and location and try to connect with the interviewers.
Got a call from a recruiter and was set up for a Zoom interview right after. The interview was mostly behavioral, and be sure to know your resume because they will ask about it.
Started with an introduction of everyone (including myself) and then transitioned into going through my resume. Interview consisted of mostly behavioral questions with the occasional technical question about my resume.
