Interviewed May 2009 in Andover, MA (took a day)
They found my resume in their database and invited me to a hiring event. I had three people at the table interviewing me, and they just asked me questions like what would make me a valuable asset to the company. There were no technical questions. My impression afterwards was that they were looking for people with the right kind of personality to fit in their team, rather than technical expertise.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Had an on campus interview with three behavioral questions. They asked what I want to work on and where I want to go, from that I suppose the HR from Boston called me up. They pulled all the stops for a fancy 2 day hiring event. I was flown first class, stayed at a fancy hotel on the harbor and fed fine dining. There was a networking dinner with hiring managers which was beneficial in getting to talk to people, but was a mess because all the people at the event were not properly accomodated (place to sit, not enough room, finger foods). Interviews were preset and went by like a breeze; just like a conversation where they asked questions about the resume and work interests. The interviewers were neutral and no feedback on available positions.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Marlborough, MA (took 1 week)
Had 6 interviews - know your resume well. Questions tend to build off of your resume. They may ask what if you did you project this way? Is it possible? What potential problems do you forsee?
Surprisingly, I didn't get any behavioral questions. I would be prepared with them just in case.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Burlington, MA (took 2 days)
It is a tough session. You must be ready to answer a lot of questions. Make sure you make an outline of Raytheon and its industry so you have something good to study. Don't forget about your education and what got you to the interview. You should be fine if you articulate your forecasting skills. Basic interviewing skills may apply so make sure you read any book you can find. Job Interview for Dummies helped me out.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Tewksbury, MA (took a day)
The interview was scheduled over the phone through HR. The questions were rather technical and detailed in nature, and many areas concentrated on my ability to get security clearance.
At times, there were many situational questions, behavioral questions were not the main subject of the interview. Very technical interview, focusing on a variety of engineering concepts rather than software development. When the technology based questions did come, they were sporadic and really meant to gaudge the level of flexibility of working with varying development enviroments and technologies while adhering to pre-existing standards and protocols. There was also an emphasis on quality and testing and dealing with deadlines as well as how to prioritize work.
There were three seperate people interviewing, one was the hiring manager, and the other two seemed to be senior engineers who had years of experience with the company.

Interviewed Nov 2007 in Tewksbury, MA (took 3 weeks)
Straightforward.
One on-campus behavioral interview.
Then was requested to go on-site. The on-site was more to sell themselves than to sell myself., talked to many engineers who told me what the did and if it interested me.
Was never asked a single technical question.
Received an official offer a few days later in the mail.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Woburn, MA (took a day)
Filled out a series of forms from a 3rd party HR outfit by the internet days before. Had a presentation about how wonderful the company is (about an hour), then had 4 one hour interviews.
Unfortunately the interviewers did not seem terribly interested in interviewing. It almost seemed as though HR had set this up to fulfill a requirement to interview some number candidates before they could select the person that they had already picked out.
They promised a response after a week or so, but after 3 weeks of nothing, even when I ask, I get the feeling its "Don't call us, we'll call you".
