The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Goleta, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Description of the interview process. It began by submitting a resume to the company's online jobs site. Received a phone call from one of the company's engineers and discussed my resume and background. Shortly after, an HR rep. called to schedule an in-person interview. After the interview was scheduled, and one day before a major holiday, the engineer that I spoke with previously asked that I prepare a presentation highlighting my technical knowledge on a subject of my choosing. Without changing my holiday plans to go out of town, I had to cram to prepare a decent presentation. To make a long story short, after eight hours of 1:1 interviews with engineers and managers, and after delivering a presentation which appeared to generate moderate interest, my follow-up emails appear to have fallen on deaf ears, and I never received a single reply, and of course no job offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was the most difficult part of the job that you mentioned on your resume that you did about ten years ago?
Straightforward, focus on STAR method, tie that back to your resume. They use Full Spectrum Leadership principles that LM has set, so look into that as well. Make sure to have good examples that show both technical, managerial, and interpersonal skills.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you solved a challenging engineewring problem,
There were 2 interviewers, one manager, and a Systems Engineer Lead. There were 4 STAR Method questions. Within each question, they would get into some technical questions and go over the resume as well
Well organized and thoughtful interview. I prepared using the provided interview guide but should have spent more time preparing answers for how my former experience aligned with the job posting. Managers were not overly friendly, however, I could tell the team was not the correct fit for my personality.
