I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTX
Interview
hr phone screen, a two-hour online interview with coding questions, and in-person technical interview. The questions are not designed to trick you, but do a good job evaluating your familiarity with C/C++.
Review C/C++ specific things such as macros, array recursion (and how its represented on stack), bits/bytes (masking, endianness), C specific functions (e.g., sizeof), C/C++ security vulnerabilities (stack/heap overflow, and data structures (array of arrays and linked lists - Although I was not asked, I would review hash tables as well. I strongly recommend spending time reviewing the different operations associated with bits/bytes.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Annapolis Junction, MD) in Nov 2017
Interview
I was previously an intern for Raytheon and was asked to come on full time. I had my pick at which office I wanted to work at so I decided to try out the Maryland area.
I was given a phone interview early in the week, that went well and then I was scheduled to fly out to Maryland that next week.
Once I arrived, they took me to a room with 3 other employees and they took turns telling me about themselves and then grilled me with technical questions. At the end, I was given vulnerable C code and asked to step through it and explain the vulnerabilities and how I would fix them. Then there was a simple coding exercise in C. Finally, I was given a tour of the office.
The entire process that day took around 2 hours, give or take

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTX (Annapolis Junction, MD) in Nov 2017
Interview
I was a previous intern. I was given a full time offer and decided to move offices to MD. I had an initial phone screen. That went well and they scheduled my flight within the week for the in-person interview.
I showed up and was interviewed by a group of 3 engineers at the same time. They asked me questions based off my resume, some behavioral/culture fit questions, and then the rest was very technical. I had to write C code in front of them, go over some intentionally vulnerable C code they had written and find the bugs and tell them what I would do to fix the bugs. They also had some exploitation challenges for me to do. After the tech interview, I was given a tour of the office. The whole process that day took about 3 hours. I received a full offer 2 months later
