I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at BAE Systems (London, England) in Mar 2010
Interview
I was approached by a headhunter so process was relatively easy, submitted updated CV and was asked for an interview. Had to go through a number of stages, mostly with those I'd be working with to make sure I'd fit. Diaries on both sides made setting up the interviews quite tricky and the process took longer as a result. Negotiation was fair and reasonnable and mostly done through the recruiter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Specific interest was placed in my understanding of technology and technology solutions. For my role the challenge was to demonstrate an ability to pick up the details rather than start as an expert.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Sterling, VA) in Sep 2017
Interview
I was referred by an existing employee. It took a few months before receiving contact from Recruiting. Once contacted, interview was scheduled within a week. I had a face to face interview with the hiring manager, Judith Rackens, as well as another Director associated with the position via conference call. Together, both interviewed thoroughly regarding job knowledge, experience and personal attributes and management style. It was a comfortable and professional interview. I was disappointed I was not selected however I received a personal email from Ms. Rackens regarding the decision and feedback from the interview.
It was overall a great experience once the interviewing process began. Given the thorough interview, I believe it would be a great place to work.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BAE Systems
Interview
One call with HR and one meeting with line manager then an offer. In retrospect this was pretty suspicious for such a senior role. I wish I had asked more questions and met more people as there were a great many surprises when joining, few of them positive.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems
Interview
Quick HR screening phone interview after CV followed by 2 face to face interviews with more senior management.
Long radio silence between these. Had to chase and chase every step. Overall took 3 months CV to getting job. December 2015
