I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at RTX (Boston, MA) in Nov 2017
Interview
I was flown in for a 2 day hiring invitational event. The first day involved mainly selling Raytheon to all of the candidates with a plant tour and various presentations. In the evening there was a networking event that allowed us candidates to meet all of the hiring managers. While it was a little hectic I definitely thought it was extremely useful in preparation for the interviews taking place on the second day. The interviews on the second day were all 30 minutes each resulting them feeling more like a casual conversation than an actual interview. Some candidates only had one interview while others had many more but having more or less isn't indicative of Raytheon's interest.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was your favorite class in college? Which was your worst?
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.
Described the work done at the location. Then asked several unrelated technical positions to the job title. Asked about software engineering experience and principles unrelated to job description or responsibilities.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at RTX (Windsor Locks, CT) in May 2025
Interview
the interview was very laid back and conversational, mainly had typical behavioral questions with no technical questions. the interviewer was clear about when i would hear back and gave enough time to ask questions near the end.
