Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 3 weeks)
First round is a phone screening with someone in HR. This was a very easy interview, just a few simple questions about team working and problems/results. It took a few weeks to get the results, but next round of interviews are with managers of the group you may be working with.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Arlington, VA (took a day)
The interview process was straight forward. Posted my resume on monster and a recruiter for BAE contacted me. Set up an interview the next week... had an offer 2 days later. My security clearance is the ace in the hole.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 1+ week)
Setting up the interview was very professional with references required. The dtae and time was set to meet first with human resources and then the hiring manager. The hiring manager asked that several of his reports be included in the interview. I believe the interview went well.
I was contacted 7 days later and told that there were several excellent people interviewed and that I was not selected but the team felt I was qualified for the job.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 2 days)
The phone conversation consisted of simple questions about my background. We reviewed my resume some. The whole thing took about 30 minutes.
I had two trips to the plant. The first visit was just with the hiring manager. We did an hour or so 1:1 interview. There were more questions about my past and how I handled certain situations.
The second trip involved an interview with one of the senior engineers and a panel interview. There were a few questions about technical issues, but no detailed problem solving. I was asked several questions along the lines "what would you do if..." The focus was clearly on dealing with people and communications.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Nashua, NH (took a day)
I first spoke with a BAE representative at a Umass Amherst career fair. I told him that I was a Mechanical Engineer student, but had done a Summer internship doing some technical writing (Summer '08 internship with Westinghouse Nuclear). There are very few students who show an interest in both engineering and writing and I think this helped me to stand out. He was a Functional manager with BAE and said he knew of another manager who was looking for someone within this area of interest. Shortly after the career fair I got an email back inviting me to their facility for an interview. The interview was at 7am on a weekday, and it's important to note that BAE will pay for any travel expenses to get to the interview. I expected to be the only student going there with just one 1-on-1 interview for the day. However, there were a few other students that showed up as well, and we all went to a nice meeting room and got an informative general overview presentation from the same guy who I had spoke with at the fair. After the presenation we went to a waiting room and had a schedule of interviews so that the 4 or 5 of us students would rotate interviewing with the same 5 different BAE managers.
The interview themselves weren't too bad all in all. My first interview however was pretty brutal in that I ended up getting a lot of technical and conceptual questions that caught me off guard. Some examples include: "why does a curveball pitch in baseball curve?" and "what properties are important when you cook a turkey?" and "how would you figure out how many golf balls (or ping pong balls) could fit inside an airplane?". Although the questions were tough and I didn't really tackle any of them all that well, the guy was pretty nice and obviously just trying to determine our thought processing/problem solving abilities. My thoughts in retrospect and advice would be to say straight-up that- 'although I've learned a lot of this in school I'm not really good with on the spot technical questions, and I do much better when I have material and resources at my dispense'. I think this approach would have been better than trying to finagle my way around the questions or guessing at them, which never really works out well. After this first rough interview the rest were all pretty easy going and go the best if you can extend the initial friendly banter when you're getting to the the manager. That's your chance to show your people skills, and at the same time it can help make the interviewer (manager) feel more comfortable in there with you, which is a big positive. It's not always just us students being interviewed who feel uncomfortable and I always tried to use that to my advantage. So basically come out of your shell if you have one, ask them as many questions as you can such as how long have you worked for the company and how have you enjoyed working for BAE (or whoever). And be straight-forward with them and don't try to traverse any tough or strange questions.
They closed out our day of interviewing by having some current younger employees take all us students out to a nice lunch. This is another opportunity to show off some of your people/social skills and get to know more about BAE by talking to the guys and/or girls who take you out to lunch. After lunch we were all free to go and we were told beforehand that we would get a callback whether we were getting an offer or not within the next 2 weeks I believe, which not all companies do unfortunately. And sure enough not even a week later I got a call for a job offer there. I thought BAE was very efficient in the way that they proceeded with everything.

Negotiation Details
The negotiation phase was a very difficult process for me, but mainly because I was torn between the offer with BAE and another offer I had got from Westinghouse. Although the decision process was difficult, BAE gave me a fair window to make a decision and even let me extend that window some more. An important part of this process that helped me make my final decision was using the two offers against each other and trying to get a little more money. I had got a lower offer with Westinghouse, but it came with a sign on bonus. BAE had the higher offer, but did not include a sign on bonus and that is what I primarily used as a bargaining chip. It came down to me telling BAE that I was strongly leaning towards them and if they could tack on a sign on bonus that I would definitely accept the offer.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Drug Test.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Rome, NY (took a day)
They were friendly and relatively open to discussion of my experience. They asked a lot of questions about my past experience, and on my experience in managing technical people. They seemed to be very interested in how I would relate to their software staff, and how I would do with "soft skills". I was told that I was the only external candidate.people
