Interviewed Mar 2011 in El Segundo, CA (took a day)
Met with a group consisting of the software engineering manager and two other employees. Almost seemed like they were speed-interviewing since the entire interview was scheduled for only 30-minutes, and I was almost rushed out so that they could get to the next interview candidate.
Interview consisted mainly of describing my experience of the software development life-cycle and related processes of my prior job; no highly technical questions asked. Didn't get a tour of the facility, so it would have been hard to know if it was a fitting place to work.
From reading other reviews, it seems like the interview format varies based on the interviewer or department. It was a strange interview, but I don't have any major complaints. Got a rejection email 2 weeks later.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in El Segundo, CA (took a day)
Very generic questions. Subjects like when did you take initiative in some project, how did you deal with a non cooperative team, etc. Quite easy to prepare for if you think or find generic questions and think of responses. The rep was very helpful though, with a lot of insights into the company itself and the hiring process as a whole.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in El Segundo, CA (took 2 months)
First interview was scheduled later in the afternoon after a college career fair. I met with the recruiter on campus and had a 1:1 interview for 20 minutes. Recruiter mainly asked questions about college coursework and any specific projects that related to supply chain management. Recruiter was very friendly, informal, and made the interview a very positive experience.
One month later I was contacted by a person from Human Resources. She mentioned that the company was interested in having a second interview in person with the hiring manager. The company flew me out to LA for the day and paid for the flight and shuttle service to the building. The second interview was with the hiring manager and human resources representative. The interview lasted about an hour and half. First half of the interview was a list of general questions fielded by HR. The second half included more conversation about the company's culture, responsibilities, and the company in general. HR then discussed the benefits the company offers including 401k, medical / dental, Paid-time off, and flex working schedules.

Very well put together process. All accommodations taken care of. Had an interview at school, was asked a few screening questions. Offered to go to an on-site interview. Yet to hear back. Heard Raytheon is much like school. Lots of mentors and training. Even have free classes.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in El Segundo, CA (took 4+ weeks)
While initial contact was pleasant, the time required (on their side) to set up the interview was excessive, given that they asked me to apply for the specific position (my resume was on file). From initial contact to interview was roughly a month. The panel interview was actually a single questioner with three other "listeners" on the panel - and no one on the panel was able to provide me with their business cards (not that they didn't have any with them, but none of the "interviewers" had ever been issued business cards, based on their statements, leading me to believe that none of them were managers).
They questioned me extensively about my past work, stressing technical questions rather than managerial/people skills.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The position was misidentified as a management position; it was actually a lead engineering position with minimal management duties (75% technical minimum duties by their own statement, as an "individual contributor", with a stated maximum of 25% functional management responsibilities).

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
I had a phone screen with the hiring manager, which lasted approximately an hour.
About a week later, the recruiter phoned to schedule an on-site interview.
I was at their facility for most of the day, moving from one office to another.
They asked me a lot of canned questions, such as "discuss a very challenging team situation and how did you overcome it?"

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
The interviews were all behavioral questions, nothing too unexpected or out of the ordinary. The second round interviews varied by the manager I interviewed with, some managers were awkward and others were more positive and sociable. The interviews were very rushed.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in El Segundo, CA (took 8 weeks)
I had an interview after a college campus info session, and then an on-site interview two months after. I received an offer three months after my final interview. The whole process was slow until I received the offer. Then, it felt rushed.
Both interviews were behavioral. All expenses were paid for the on-site interview.

Negotiation Details
It didn't seem like negotiation was expected at all, but I was able increase my bonus and delay my start date. Make sure you state what you want asap after the initial offer.
