Interviewed Jan 2011 in Stafford, VA (took 2 days)
Overall, laid back and not too involved. Applied online and received a call for an interview the next day. Interview was with the Operations Manager within the department and lasted about 45 minutes. Basic questions were asked about experience, nothing too in depth or difficult. Was assured I would receive a call, and at noon the next day, got a call from the hiring manager offering the job.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
A good place to interview.
I was involved in a blitz style interview for new grads. You are seated in a room with other potential candidates. There were three interviews, each conducted by actual project managers. These interviews were short and fairly conversational. I really actually enjoyed them. They were not overly technical, either. Their were questions like: "Are you familiar with X or Y" instead of exam-style questions such as: "How does X and Y work?". This is refreshing. They treat your resume and degree as your proof of competence. They ask you fairly open-ended questions and allow you to present yourself. The questions are natural and conversational. The questions are not your standard, text-book manufactured, behavioral and technical lineup. Additionally, most of the interviewers are open to answering questions themselves. Advice: When this time becomes available, ask away. If you draw a blank, just ask about your interviewer's duties and the nature of the work he/she oversees. Remember, this is your potential future boss.
In between the first two interviews comes the obligatory pizza lunch. Between the second and third interview is a tour of the facility. This was very enjoyable. During the lunch, several recent hires sit down and share their experiences. The tour gives is reasonable and informative. One important thing here is that they do not try to advertise. I have visited companies that really attempt to sell what they are showing you. These companies use a lot of talk to achieve an "Ooh" and "Aah" factor. L-3 was straight-forward throughout the entire process. They show you something, explain it, and move on. This makes the entire process enjoyable.
Overall, a great experience. If given the opportunity to interview with L-3, take it.

At the end of his presentation he asked what I wanted to be doing in 5 years.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Rockwall, TX (took a day)
The interview process resulting in no offer being made. I was strung along for several days with the comment that an offer was going to be made but that it just had to be "approved".
I would recommend anybody take that kind of behavior into account before interviewing with this place!
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Skills Test and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Tempe, AZ (took 2 weeks)
Had the first interview at the job fair then on the phone. Was sent electronically job application and job focus attachment. I sent it back and did not get a response for about 11 days. Then I received a thank you for my interest in the position letter. I think all the steps the company was handled in a very well organized way.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Waco, TX (took 2 days)
They few me and about 15 other people down to Waco, TX for 2 days. On the first day we toured Waco, met with senior engineers, VP and recently hired engineers. On the second day we toured their facility and did panel interviews. They were interested in leadership and organization skills. Every one seemed very helpful. I had lot of time to ask questions about the company and the position. From the first impression, it looks like a great place to work. I accepted the offer because the company does what I want to do, the pay and benefits are very good.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Chantilly, VA (took 3 months)
I was alerted to this opportunity by a trusted colleague. I spent time finding out what I could about the responsibly people involved in the HR department as well as the hiring manager and other people who would be on the interview panel.
At the appointed time I show up for the interview in their office in Chantilly, meet and greet the members of the HR staff as well as the hiring manager.
The panel interview took about 1 hour and I knocked it out of the part according to the HR Director who was one of the interviewers on the panel. I was told I would be contacted within two weeks whether I got the job or not.
Two weeks passed before I finally got a short and terse email stating that I did not get the job. A day or two later I called the HR director who told me in confidence that I had zero chance of getting this job because the hiring manager had already made up his mind to promote an internal candidate. She suggested that I either apply to their Michigan operations or apply for other jobs way below my skill level and pay scale and get on and pay my dues and then only then might I qualify for something meaningful in their wonderful organization.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Orlando, FL (took 1 week)
Applied online. Heard back within a week. Showed up for the interview. Interview process lasted almost 4 hours. I was interviewed by four different people, each separately. First was the recruiter, this person gave me the overall impression of the job function. This person lasted only 15-25 minutes. The next two people asked me technical questions (engineering word problems, dynamics) and asked me everything about my resume. The last person to interview me was the top manager.
