Interviewed Mar 2012 in El Segundo, CA (took a day)
I applied for this position on their website. A few weeks later and after back and forth with a recruiter I interviewed on site with two team managers. Interview started out with some questions asking me to rate myself on software and tools such as: Rate yourself from 1 to 5 in JAVA, Microsoft Excel, etc. They went on to ask questions related to my experience and behavioral type questions. Very easy and straight to the point interview.
Though the title was a software engineer, the position itself was definitely not for software engineers. This position was going to focus on configuration management systems, which was not something that would have really fit me anyways. Got a call the next week, letting me know they hired somebody with experience in configuration management systems.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
It was a 1st round on campus interview. Was asked a series of common behavioral questions, and mostly things from my resume. Given my interests, I don't think the interviewer and I clicked very well.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Denver, CO (took 3 months)
nothing special really everything from your initial communications with the company, organization and planning of the interview, number and type of interviews, and any advice you might offer to other interview candidates. Bonus points for your perceptions of the people, office, and work culture

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 Feb 2009 (took a day)
Spoke to a recruiter at a career fair, who happened to be in charge of talent acquisition, and was urged to submit my resume online for specific positions. Was contacted a few weeks later to talk to a hiring manager, where they asked a few questions about past experiences. They got back a week later with the offer--overall about a month turnaround from applying to acceptance.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Fort Wayne, IN (took 1 week)
I applied for the position on the rayjobs.com website and was contacted within a few weeks by phone. The phone screen consisted of me describing some of my previous projects and a basic question or two such as why I am fit for this position. I then asked right away to come on site for the interview event.
The on site interview was a 2 day event consisting of site tours and dinner (Qdoba) the first day and more tours and 3 behavioral interviews the second day. The company seemed to put a lot of emphasis on the 2 day event itself and tried to downplay the interviews. The motivation seemed to be that they just wanted a relaxed environment with little pressure. The interviews consisted of me talking about some of the projects that I've done, where my experiences are, and typical behavioral questions.
We were told that we would hear back in 1 week. I was contacted 3 weeks later with a rejection email.

Interviewed May 2008 (took 2 months)
It was very technical, don't know if I can provide any advice on the interview other than they pretty much want you to know everything about the field you will be working in.
