Interviewed Dec 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 1 week)
I applied online and was contacted by someone within a week. They asked me what I would want to do in a position and after I replied they said that it sounds like the position that I would have there. I was flown out the next week for a 1 day interview (it would have been the day after the phone call but I had another interview on that day).
I was escorted to a meeting room with 2 senior engineers and an engineering manager and we had a discussion about projects that I had worked on and my understanding of Real Time Embedded Systems. After our discussion, they stepped out for a few seconds, came back in and said they would be offering me the job. I took a brief tour of the facilities after this.
I spent about 2.5-3 hours on the Raytheon Campus.
Advice:
Know the position listing well and refresh yourself on relevant discussion topics.

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 Mar 2010 in Aurora, CO (took 2 weeks)
Applied online for a req in October and it wasn't until March the following year when they called. They immediately moved to fly me to Aurora for a person to person interview. Went through several rounds involving usually one or two people at a time. None of the questions were particularly technical and more along the lines of querying me on my background. Everything seemed positive at the time. So after nearly two weeks of nothing after the trip, I contacted the recruiter. I was told 4 weeks and I'll hear something back from her. After hearing nothing, I contacted her again. This time I was told effectively another month and a half due to some "roll off". Contacted after another 2 months and nothing back.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 days)
Raytheon IDS recently made a strong effort at my university to recruit graduating talent in software/mechanical/electrical engineering. The company site has two 2 day invitational's a year which is where most of the interviewing takes place. Once there an applicant may have anywhere from 1 to 5 interviews scheduled. Travel and expenses from the interview(s) are obviously paid for. Overall they did a superb job attracting new talent.
