Interviewed Nov 2011 in Hartford, CT (took 4+ weeks)
Received an appointment for an interview in Pratt & Whitney's Hospitality Suite in the 2011 Anaheim, CA Society of Hispanic Professional Engineer Conference. First interview went well and was invited to Pratt & Whitney's Super day (2 weeks later) where I received my second interviews and had an offer within another 2 weeks.
All the faculty were welcoming and kind. When I was invited to Pratt & Whitney's headquarters in Hartford, I smiled and laughed a lot with my tour host and interviewers. We even had lunch together and I sincerely had a good time.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Farmington, CT (took 2 days)
I first met Pratt and Whitney through the United Technologies booth at National Black MBA Conference. Second round following the first meeting - had two interviews with four people (2 each). Unfortunately, for this position, though they say they hire people without engineering backgrounds, that is what they are looking for in the position.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in East Hartford, CT (took 2 days)
The initial communication was through a college recruiting event. After review of my resume, I was offered a 1st interview with a panel of 4 current engineers. The interview process was 45 minutes long and included questions about my past history as well as situational questions. After the interview, I was offered a position within 48 hours. I went back for a second, full day interview for job placement within the company. The workplace culture seemed relaxed with an emphasis on further education, work ethics, and completing work tasks in a timely manner.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in East Hartford, CT (took 3 weeks)
I talked to a representative at a career fair at my school, and was offered an interview a few days later. A couple of weeks after, I was asked to do a second interview on site at Pratt & Whitney. They reimbursed me for travel expenses, and I got to meet with people that I would be working with if I took the job. They even took me to the customer training center and museum to see a bunch of the engines. It was a lot of fun, and not very much pressure. Everyone was very nice.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I interviewed at a national career fair in Chicago. I was pre-selected for an interview after applying online and interviewed onsite. That same day, I received an offer.

Reason for Declining
I had several other attractive offers. Pratt and Whitney's success is also highly driven by the defense industry contracts, which have been declining as of late.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in East Hartford, CT (took a day)
The initial interview was on site at my college. It was personality type questions and also questions to help understand the program. A few months later there was an onsite visit. The onsite visit was an interview with the program manager, a manager in the area you might work in, and lunch with employees currently in the program. You will also get a shop tour.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
Contacted via email for interview. It was a panel interview with 3 interviewers who were generally kind and friendly. Went for the 1st round of interview but there will be at least another round if shortlisted. Location is quite secluded so might want to make more time allowance to get into the company.
