I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at RTX (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2009
Interview
The initial communications was through a human resource representative to coordinate a phone interview. After the phone interview was arranged my section/hiring manager contacted me. The interview took roughly an hour. Most of the questions were behavioral due to my previous summer internship. After the phone interview I received a DHL package 3 days later with my official offer.

Question 1
Would you rather be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond and why?
Very laid back, more having a conversation about the role and what I would be doing than technical questions. Asked a lot of questions about my experience on my resume and my projects in college.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTX (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
Incredibly standard, asked pretty boiler plate questions. Definitely would say that they asked more about personal projects than I expected. Overall a very pleasant experience and they were very easy people to deal with.
Entry level position, was mostly behavioral and required technical explanation of my previous experiences. Seemed to look for how I answered my questions and how I thought through my answers.
