Interview
I applied online and was contacted about two weeks later to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was much more of a conversation about my experiences and other items listed on my resume. That same day I got an email inviting me to a "hiring event" similar to the event described in other reviews. The first day consisted of a security briefing, information session about the company, and tours of some facilities with other people who are interviewing for the same team as you. At the information session they stressed that you're not competing directly against other people at the event for positions and it's more about seeing if you as an individual would be a good fit for the company. The first night there was a networking session which was like a cocktail hour where you could meet employees from other teams and potentially get additional interviews. The second day was for interviews. I ended up getting multiple additional interviews from the networking event and found that I was more interested in a different team than the one that invited me and ultimately accepted an offer from that team. Overall the event was very well run and everybody at Raytheon involved, as well as the other candidates, were very friendly. The fact that Raytheon covered the trip expenses was a nice added bonus.

Question 1
Similar to the phone interview, questions about experiences in conjunction with my Resume. This seemed to be common with most engineering entry level positions.

Interview
I applied online and was contacted roughly two months after I had applied. I was invited to a Sunday-Tuesday job interview in Tucson, Arizona. Raytheon put all 200+ applicants in hotel rooms for the three day/ two-night interview process.
Sunday night was a basic orientation where they laid out the flow and expectations of the weekend. We were also briefed on the security clearance we would have to apply for and pass if we would be offered a job. Fingerprinting and photo identification was also apart of this evening.
Monday consisted of a benefits and relocation information session, as well as multiple human resource employees available to answer questions. There was a large breakfast in which Raytheon has multiple heads of various departments talk about why Raytheon is an incredible company to work for. After the lunch, we all got on buses and were taken on a tour by Raytheon.
After the tour, we had a 1.5-hour break until the networking interview event. This event provides applicants the opportunity to meet other departments and potentially win additional interviews. I had one interview already scheduled before the event and set up an additional two for the following morning.
The last day includes a breakfast and then multiple hours of interviews if you have more then one scheduled. Between the three interviews, I was in front of different hiring manages for 3+ hours.
