I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at United Technologies (Hartford, CT) in Oct 2011
Interview
It went really well. I first interview at my school. Then I got invited to interview at the corporate headquarter. Two interviews, they like my corporate finance experience. They like to hire people with corporate finance experience, so if you have worked at General Electric, Honeywell, they like that.

Interview
No technical questions, all behavioral/situational. They are very proud that FLPs take on full-time responsibilities. Don't ask about continuing education (they advertise funding for mba or cpa) as they are trying to reduce those costs and didn't seem enthused about interest in candidates pursuing a cpa post-grad. Being nervous for this interview will not benefit. Basic questions were mixed in with questions to test interest in UTC.

Question 1
Why finance? How quickly did you pick up accounting in your introductory classes? What makes you capable of moving every six months?
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at United Technologies (Farmington, CT) in Oct 2015
Interview
First round interview was on my college campus. Lots of scripted questions and semi-intimidating interviewers. Second round interview was a Superday at the UTC campus. Two interviews in the morning, one group of interviewers were young and followed the scripted questions, another group were older and asked more resume-oriented and personality-oriented questions. Tour of campus in the afternoon. UTC covers hotel lodging and a dinner reception the night before the Superday and covers travel expenses.
