I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ) in Oct 2019
Interview
Very unprofessional and racial profiling. It was a 2 day hiring event in Tucson AZ. I went on Sunday to submit proof of US citizenship.
Then on Monday there was a tour to their facility and then a networking session with their team at night. Everyone seemed tired and don't want to talk. During networking, a white man profiled me and assumed I am Russian because of my foreign accent by saying 'How come you feel cold here in Tucson and you're from there?'. It was very uncomfortable since I am not Russian and I don't want to be profiled as Russian since it is a US defense company and everyone knows politics.
On Tuesday (my interview day). I interviewed with 3 engineers , after I answered the question "Tell me about yourself", one of the interviewers didn't like my past experience and mentioned that I might be a good candidate for another department at Raytheon but he didn't refer me to that department though. Then the other 2 interviewers were asking questions that are not related to the job description not even to my past experience in engineering. There were no technical questions and no behavioral. That made me feel profiled as well after what happened on Monday. The interview only lasted 20 mins.
Raytheon talks about diversity and multicultural environments when they don't actually accept differences. The interviewers didn't even look in my eyes when I was talking to them, This is very unprofessional to be discriminating against a US citizen that was born abroad and have a foreign accent.
They talk about diversity only to get funding from the government. They are fake.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ) in Oct 2019
Interview
I was able to land an on campus interview after a career fair, which was pretty laid back. I was asked all behavioral/situational questions, stuff like when is a time you solved a problem, worked through conflict, went above and beyond for your work etc. Then I was invited to a 2 day hiring event, once again most of my interviews were behavioral based and pretty laid back, be sure you know your resume, they will ask about the specifics of your projects and such that you list. Other than that, no real technical questions, they are really looking for eager and friendly people who are willing to learn.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTX (Tewksbury, MA)
Interview
I applied through the Raytheon website. I was reached out to by an internal recruiter a few days later. The following week I had an in-person interview. The week after that I was offered the position. The offer is contingent on a background check verified by HireRight and a drug screening. They check credit score for financial and corporate position, but I was omitted from that. The drug screen is simple. They let you pick a place near where you live. The background check can be difficult because HireRight isn't very good at what they do, and you will likely have to verify a lot of items, like employment history and education, for them. After all is set, they let you know your start date.
