Raytheon Interview Questions & Reviews in Boston, MA Area

Interview Details – Was quicker than expected, but probably varies department to department. Manager looked at my resume, asked a couple of basic questions, and took me on a tour of the area I'd be working in. Interview took less than 20 minutes.

Interview Details – Started off with a phone interview and 2 weeks later was flown up to headquarters for an on-sight interview. Wonderful facilities and a tremendous group of talented individuals.

Reason for Declining – The salary was not enough to move.

Interview Details – Raytheon is difficult to get into to from the outside looking in. A lot of employees are referrals or family members who got their son/daughter in. That being said, I got luck by applying online and having a recruiter that had connections to my high school/college. The initial phoone call lasted 15 minutes.

The next day I was brought in to interview with 3 separate people (my potential manager, co-worker and another manager). The interviews lasted a few hours. The next day or so, the recruiter called and said that the positiion I interviewed for was placed on hold, but they liked me and wanted me to try out for a different position. I repeated the same process again with 3 other people in another Raytheon location and got the offer for that role within a week.

Negotiation Details – I was fresh out of college with great credentials, HR gave me the maximum that was possible in the entry-level position so I did not negotiate. Benefits were excellent, but non-negotiable.

Interview Details – I applied online, and a week later, I received an email from an engineering fellow about a phone screening. He asked me what type of work I was interested in, and explained their work. He liked my responses, so arranged to fly me out for an on-site interview. HR arranged all the travel and stuff for me, and I arrived in Marlborough the afternoon before. The directions to the site were a bit trickier than I thought, so I arrived a few minutes late.

I had four interviews with four managers. First one just talked at me, but the second guy was pretty excited about technical questions, which covered a whole range (waveforms, networks, coding, filters), and third guy was kind of behavioral. Fourth interview was also just chatting, mainly about life in Massachusetts. I had lunch with one of the junior engineers, officially not an interview, and then had a follow up with the recruiter, who said she'd be in touch with me within a week. This was a Wednesday. I received a call from her on Monday, and the offer package arrived on Tuesday.

Reason for Declining – I think that relocation assistance was insufficient. HR was not willing to budge on it. I took another offer with another company that was local (same salary and everything)

Interview Details – It took approximately 8 to 9 moths before I was even called for an interview. I frequented the company website and posted my resume for as many jobs as I though I was qualified for often. I even took the initiative to contact HR and express my displeasure (respectfully) as to why I had not received a call when I knew I was qualified for the positions. It took a while but I finally got a call. I received a call for a phone screening with a recruiter and then was scheduled to come in for an interview. It was definitely a commute for the interview as I was living in Waterbury CT. at the time. It was an exciting experience as I am always looking for a challenge and I never thought I would be doing or have the chance to work for a company like Raytheon on a managerial level. It was a lengthy interview process in which I had to meet with at least 5 different department hiring managers along with about 5 to 6 other potential candidates. The experience and impression I received from most of the interviewers was fair. The interviewer I wound up working for was intense however and aggressive (but respectfully so) during the interview process and asked very probing questions.

Negotiation Details – Unfortunately I did not negotiate anything. I believe I was a bit too anxious and did not work through the process as effectively as I should have. This could have been part of why I was not as satisfied with the overall experience.

Interview Details – Received phone call from a Raytheon recruiter to schedule a time for phone interview. Had a one hour phone interview with 3 employees including the manager and two senior leads of the department. Week after phone interview recruiter called back and told me I did great and scheduled an in person interview. The in person group interview lasted two hours and consisted of the same manager and senior lead along with another employee. After a couple weeks got an offer.

Negotiation Details – Advice: always negotiate.

Interview Details – I was called on a Tuesday to be scheduled for a group interview on Thursday. Prior to accepting, I had to fill out a more formal application form and I had to submit my SSN.

When I arrived, there was food served and a presentation was shown. There was a small group of 5 people with different experience levels. The presentation shows what they do and what benefits come with working for Raytheon. After a half hour presentation the group was split up to go to their individual interviews.

I had 3 interviews which lasted 2.5 hours. I realized now that these guys were the people I will be reporting to. In my offer letter it stated which person I will be reporting to and it was one of the 3 people that interviewed me.

After the interview, I was told by HR that they will be making their decision soon. The next day, I was contacted and told that Raytheon will be extending an offer. Approximately 10 business days after the verbal offer, I received my formal offer in the mail.

Negotiation Details – I personally did not negotiate, because I thought the offer was more than fair.

Interview Details – I was contacted after submitting my resume in the SHPE conference and applying to the Req# indicated by the recruiter. The manager of the team called me and talked to me about the program and the position expectations. He asked me if I had any questions. Then withing 20 mins HR contacted me and emailed me the offer.

After my internship I was offered a full time position.

Negotiation Details – Had to respond within 12 days.

Interview Details – The interview process happened very quickly. I was called for an interview on Tuesday and the interview took place on Thursday of that week. The invited approximately 5 other candidates. Food was put out, an overview of the company was given, then we broke off and had 1-on-1 interviews. Most people had 2-3 interviews. It lasted for approximately 2 hours. Decisions were made by Tuesday of the next week. The entire hiring process took about a month. It was a little longer than expected as they were sometimes slow to get back to me. Overall though, it was a good Interview and Hiring experience.

Negotiation Details – Salary was negotiable but they remained fairly fixed in terms of their starting offer.
