I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTX in May 2013
Interview
Applied online earlier in may and received a phone call from recruiter to schedule a phone interview with hiring manager.
phone interview was brief and talked about my experience using CAD and product design and why I want to work at Raytheon.
Waited a week for response and I have to take the initiative to call the hiring manager and HR recruiter to receive status. Obviously when applicant call in, you often hear a rejection.
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.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
Incredibly standard, asked pretty boiler plate questions. Definitely would say that they asked more about personal projects than I expected. Overall a very pleasant experience and they were very easy people to deal with.
Entry level position, was mostly behavioral and required technical explanation of my previous experiences. Seemed to look for how I answered my questions and how I thought through my answers.
