Electrical Engineer at General Dynamics
No Offer – Interviewed in Groton, CT Oct 2011 – Reviewed Jan 25, 2012
Interview Details – I got a phone call a couple months after applying online and set up my interview for 2 weeks later. When I got there, I was interviewed by 3 people separately and was assigned to a "tour guide," for lack of a better term, who showed me around and took me to each interview. The first and last interviews went fine. I was asked about my resume and my working habits and the like. The second one was technical, however, and I didn't do so well with that one. It was tedious and I couldn't answer a lot of the questions. About a month later I received a rejection letter in the mail.

Software Engineer at General Dynamics
No Offer – Interviewed in San Antonio, TX Sep 2009 – Reviewed Oct 17, 2009
Interview Details –
Recruiter called me. We went over my resume. I sent my resume a PDF document. Later he asked me to change it to a DOC so he could modify it. I spoke with the a few more times. He covered pay rate, vacation and contract length. Asked me several inappropriate questions:
1. Was I married (because of insurance he claimed).
2. What year I graduated college
Everything seemed to be going well but then got no further responses. No follow up call, no email. The recruiter also used a personal email for the whole thing. Perhaps it was a head hunter.
