Interviewed Oct 2009 in East Hartford, CT (took 2+ weeks)
Group interview with hiring manager plus group members (3). Interview was primarily based on company standard interview questions (i.e. standard behaviorial questions, situational questions, etc.). 15 mins towards the end for group members and hiring manager to ask unscripted questions. Nice group, nice setting.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in East Hartford, CT (took 3 weeks)
First round interview was 1:1 on campus (November). Second round interview (January) was onsite at the P&W facility in East Hartford and Middletown, CT. Second round interview consisted of 1:1 with program manager, 1:1 with a manager (possible a former MED) and then a tour of the manufacturing facility by current MEDs. Lunch was on the company at a very nice restaurant in downtown Middletown. Interview was finished in the afternoon with another 1:1 with the program manager.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiation is limited because everyone entering the MED program is given the same offer since all have the same experience (little to no manufacturing experience) and education (4 year degree in business or engineering). Offer is very competitive, if not better, to other offers from Lockheed and GE. Also look at the benefits that are given with being an United Technology Company (UTC) specifically with the Employee Scholar Program where all employees can go to school with tuition and books being paid upfront by UTC (better alternative to reimbursement) and upon completion of each degree related to your job you will get a $10,000 stock bonus.
