I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at RTX (Tewksbury, MA) in Oct 2009
Interview
The interview was scheduled over the phone through HR. The questions were rather technical and detailed in nature, and many areas concentrated on my ability to get security clearance.
At times, there were many situational questions, behavioral questions were not the main subject of the interview. Very technical interview, focusing on a variety of engineering concepts rather than software development. When the technology based questions did come, they were sporadic and really meant to gaudge the level of flexibility of working with varying development enviroments and technologies while adhering to pre-existing standards and protocols. There was also an emphasis on quality and testing and dealing with deadlines as well as how to prioritize work.
There were three seperate people interviewing, one was the hiring manager, and the other two seemed to be senior engineers who had years of experience with the company.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
A very mind numbing question about memory allocation and writing straight to the OS/registers - I haven't done this in a while, but apparently it was important.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at RTX (Goleta, CA)
Interview
The interview process mainly consisted of questions pertaining to your resume and STAR questions. To prep for this interview, I would revise your resume and make sure you know everything about your resume. Moreover, I would practice basic STAR questions.
I applied for this job on company's career portal. I didn't receive any updates about my application for a couple of months. I received an automated email from recruiter stating that my application is being considered for the role. Email has million questions to answer before proceeding to next step. I wasted an hour to compile my answers and replied to that spam email.
As soon as I sent the email, I received an automated email stating that I'm suddenly no longer being considered. It seems like they just want to grab personal data from applicants for marketing and profiling purpose.
I hope they are a bit more transparent in the hiring process rather than discriminating candidates based on public and personal information submitted in applicant profile.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
HR Screen, then panel interview. Panel interview consisted of the basic STAR interview process and then technical questions. The interviewers were very polite and helped with answers if I was unable to come up with the correct one. Questions seemed to be more gauged at trying to get an understanding of how much you know and how your thought process works.
