I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Redondo Beach, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
The more experience you are the more easier the interview is. Good manager can tell if you know what you're talking about. And if they're interested in you, it will probably take less than three day to get in touch with you about working with the company. Once hired, you go through normal process such as clearance if needed, take picture for badge in order to participate for orientation. Once you're done, your manager comes and take you and present you to your new group. From then on, training takes places and get familiar to the process because every job is different.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA) in Nov 2013
Interview
Went to the career fair, was called back to meet with a recruiter the next day. We went over my resume. Was then e-mailed a week or so later to come in for an interview. I was interviewed by two engineering managers for an hour, then I toured the campus with another manager, then met with HR. The engineers didn't smile much and were very serious, but the HR guy and main manager were very nice.
