I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at RTX in Aug 2009
Interview
There are two interviews and a background check in between. After the first interview there is a background check and resumes and notes are sent to the Supply Chain Manager for review. After the review the Supply Chain Manager will select a few resumes for the final interview.
I was called to schedule an interview for the following week. The first interview was a panel interview over the phone with the department manager, an engineer, and the HR manager. I was asked basic questions about my experience and education. No surprise questions then the usual. The interview lasted about 45 mins. and went very well.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at RTX (Boston, MA) in Nov 2009
Interview
Had an on campus interview with three behavioral questions. They asked what I want to work on and where I want to go, from that I suppose the HR from Boston called me up. They pulled all the stops for a fancy 2 day hiring event. I was flown first class, stayed at a fancy hotel on the harbor and fed fine dining. There was a networking dinner with hiring managers which was beneficial in getting to talk to people, but was a mess because all the people at the event were not properly accomodated (place to sit, not enough room, finger foods). Interviews were preset and went by like a breeze; just like a conversation where they asked questions about the resume and work interests. The interviewers were neutral and no feedback on available positions.
