I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Rolling Meadows, IL) in Jan 2011
Interview
They called me and acted as if I had made a previous commitment to fly there and interview, as if they had talked with me before. They hadn't. I flew there the next week. I arrived at 8, I was given a schedule and was interviewed by HR and several managers and given a lunch ticket for the cafeteria during lunch. The building was huge and I had to be escorted from place to place. I ended the day at HR and they made me a verbal offer, which I said I would consider. They paid for airfare, hotel and car. I flew home the next day, my offer letter came in the mail within a week and I declined due to insufficient salary.
The questions were mostly all behavioral. There was 1 question where they just wanted me to describe a project. They wanted to know how I approached the problem, what resources I used, if I ran into any problems and how I overcame them.

Question 1
The questions were mostly all behavioral. 1 question just wanted me to describe a project.
Pretty easy and the questions were pretty basic and it was cool and I got an offer and everything was straight forward only one panel interview which is rare these days.
My engineering interview went really well! I answered all their technical questions confidently, and we had a great discussion about my projects. The people were nice and the conversation went well as a whole.
