I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at RTX in Sep 2016
Interview
I approached the recruiter at a career fair and got offered an interview for a cybersecurity internship. Mostly an interest questionnaire and basic programming/skills review since I was a freshman. The interview process was very smooth, and the recruiter and interviewer were friendly. The interview was extremely casual, and I learned some new things during it.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Write code to print out the reverse binary representation of an integer (in language of choice) using bit arithmetic.
Describe the details of a stack-based buffer overflow attack.
Follow up: they wrote some exploitable C code on the board and wanted me to draw a layout of the stack and what it would look like when it was being exploited
Follow-up: What is 1 way to prevent against this type of attack?
Follow-up: Explain how stack canary values work
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at RTX
Interview
In person mixer with many managers. Could talk with any that you were interested in. I had a materials background so I drifted towards them. They also asked if I could work in Texas.
Got a call from the department manager to set up a phone interview. After the interview, I was told that I would be notified whether or not I got the job after 3 days. I waited 3 days, didn’t hear from anyone so I reached out to the recruiter who said by the end of the week she’ll contact me. After two weeks, no contact. So unprofessional for such a well-known company.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Starkville, MS) in Mar 2018
Interview
Phone interview that lasted approximately 20 minutes. The interviewer was very nice and made me feel very comfortable. The company got back with me in a very timely manner and expressed their interest in offering the position.
