Interviewed May 2009 in Goleta, CA (took 3 months)
The initial phone interview was with Talent Acquisition and lasted 20 minutes. 3 weeks later there was a phone interview with one technical manager which lasted 45 minutes. 3 weeks later, there was a 1:1 interview with the Director which lasted 20 minutes. I received an offer 3 weeks later.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They would not negotiate without delaying the process significantly and requiring IRS tax records from my self employment. They stated that the salary was at the mid point of my experience level which was not true. I later found out that I was hired at a level well below my experience and the salary was at the 25% point.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Dallas, TX (took a day)
The interview was set up for two hours with multiple people. It ended up lasting almost 4. I interviewed with the group of seniors/associates who I would be managing and that wasn't on the schedule. They were friendly and open enough and asked me some basic audit questions. Then I interviewed with a man who was in the role I was applying for as he was the second manager. That was fairly informative as I could see the schedule for travel. The job posting is 40% travel but I got the impression that this may not have been well managed/scheduled by management. For a supposedly progressive group in the audit realm, it sounded like their audit technology was lagging and that they didn't value leveraging/judging if an onsite audit was necessary or if a remote review could be performed. I got the impression they valued willingness to travel and face time highly. It also seemed that tracking travel percentage of employees wasn't a high priority so I had to wonder how well they took care of their team. All in all they were friendly but I left with a different view of Raytheon audit than I had from their IA promotion video on the career site. Though I got positive feedback from the recruiter that I was a top candidate, I didn't get the offer. It's nice to get an offer of course, but I was ok with it due to how I felt after the interview and the high travel requirement.

Interviewed May 2011 in Dulles, VA (took 3 days)
Interviewed with a hiring manager and one director in person and another on the phone. The interviewers were pleasant but not informative about the company, division, objectives. They did explain the position. Afterwards, I sent thank you notes via email but never received an acknowledgement. I had found out who the HR recruiter was and he seemed unfamiliar with my information but indicated I was still in the running. Two weeks later, after no communication, I received the most impersonal candidate rejection letter from an outside agency. I would say that this hiring process was impersonal, uninvolved, with zero passion for the company and cold to the candidate. So the interview was okay, the process was weak and really did not say that we think people are important here.

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
Initial phone interview to screen for a possible second round interview in person. Hiring manager was pleasant and open to questions about the position and company. The tone of the interview made me feel comfortable and interested in continuing the process. I was asked for a salary range and pressed for actual numbers.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 days)
Only a single round of interviewing -- takes place on-site (tour of the Raytheon's building and then interviewing the next day at the hotel). Candidates appear to be selected based purely on resume screening (since there wasn't a first-round interview).
Generally, the interview process seemed pretty smooth; Raytheon did a great job organizing the on-site visit/interview. Workplace seems decent; lots of fancy equipment; as may be expected from a defense company, the safety and security procedures are somewhat high.
First day involved a welcome brunch, tour of the building, and a somewhat informal dinner where we could talk with some of Raytheon's current employees (mostly the managers conducting the interviews).
Second day involved interviews, and the flight back home. It looks like each of Raytheon's departments screens resumes, conducts interviews, and makes offer decisions separately. Interview is mostly non-technical (no puzzles or "quizzes", etc).

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 months)
I initially apllied on-line in November. I was contacted about 2-3 weeks later by the Area Manager to schedule an interview. I was asked to present a field presentation (given 2 days to prepare), given a choice of 3 different technical presentations.
The actual interview was conducted by the Area Manager and the Regional Manager. The interview last 2 hours. We held the formal portion of the interview first, then concluded with a 30 mins. presentation. The formal portion of the interview consisted of various situational questions, which led the interview to be more conversational. Both managers outlined the requirements and objectives for the position, as well as laying out the salary and benefits that were offered.
