I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Huntsville, AL) in May 2012
Interview
Had two phone interviews about 2 weeks apart. There were three people, and the speaker-phone connection was a bit tough to deal with. Basically they had me outline my job history and some school information. Second interview was more of the same with some new people and some from before. The only technical questions were about some of the software experience I had with MATLAB ( B.S. mechanical engineering).
After the second interview, not much happened until I probed with an email about 2 weeks later and they said things were moving slowly, but I was still a candidate. Got a call the next week stating that they "would be making me and offer" hopefully by the next week. Got the call and finally the offer in about 4 weeks after the second interview.
A little slow, but it worked out well with my graduation timing. The interviewers were very friendly and seemed interested in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a situation where you have had to handle complex and changing situations
Was introduced as behavioral but was fairly technical. Asked a few technical questions about subjects of your choice. Discussed past experiences from my resume and what I would do in other technical scenarios.
Super easy, hired as a contractor before being as a full time employee. Regular onboarding: tons of paperwork, background checks.
Took about a week to get all details ironed out before being thrown into the deep end. Peers more than willing to help out with the getting up to speed.
Very laid back, more having a conversation about the role and what I would be doing than technical questions. Asked a lot of questions about my experience on my resume and my projects in college.
