I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RTX in Mar 2022
Interview
Started with an online questionnaire, i.e. what would you do in certain situations + your relevant experience. Followed up by a brief 1 on 1 interview with a recruiter. Final step was a Zoom call with 3 individuals from the NDT Departments.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RTX in Jul 2022
Interview
Overall, great process. Application was responded to within 6 business days by recruiters wishing to set up initial interviews. Ultimately had three interviews across hiring manger, HR, and cross-functional teams. Challenging interview but good with advanced prep. Non-STAR format.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Arlington, VA) in May 2021
Interview
A panel-style interview was conducted, where the applicant must audit some sample source code in front of 7 or so people, all of whom are giving feedback.
It honestly was a mostly ineffective interview, which was unnecessarily unnerving. The vast majority of security researchers in this industry prefer to work and think in quiet, calm settings, not in a group setting where over half a dozen other researchers are shoulder-surfing your work. Dumb.

Question 1
What vulnerabilities do you see in the sample code?
