Senior Software Engineer at Raytheon

No Offer – Interviewed in Tewksbury, MA Oct 2009 – Reviewed Oct 27, 2009

Interview Details – The interview was scheduled over the phone through HR. The questions were rather technical and detailed in nature, and many areas concentrated on my ability to get security clearance.

At times, there were many situational questions, behavioral questions were not the main subject of the interview. Very technical interview, focusing on a variety of engineering concepts rather than software development. When the technology based questions did come, they were sporadic and really meant to gaudge the level of flexibility of working with varying development enviroments and technologies while adhering to pre-existing standards and protocols. There was also an emphasis on quality and testing and dealing with deadlines as well as how to prioritize work.

There were three seperate people interviewing, one was the hiring manager, and the other two seemed to be senior engineers who had years of experience with the company.

Interview Questions

  • A very mind numbing question about memory allocation and writing straight to the OS/registers - I haven't done this in a while, but apparently it was important.   Answer Question
  • How would you work with pre-established guidelines if you feel they are not the most efficient or unnecessary?   View Answers (2)

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Tewksbury, MA Nov 2007 – Reviewed Oct 14, 2009

Interview Details – Straightforward.
One on-campus behavioral interview.
Then was requested to go on-site. The on-site was more to sell themselves than to sell myself., talked to many engineers who told me what the did and if it interested me.
Was never asked a single technical question.
Received an official offer a few days later in the mail.

Interview Question – All were easy and expected behavioral questions...what is your biggest weakness?   Answer Question

Systems Engineer Intern at Raytheon

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Tewksbury, MA Feb 2009 – Reviewed Jun 3, 2009

Interview Details – They use an outside company Hireright for the initial background check, this process is a little lengthy and confusing, some info and apps are submitted to your HR contact while some go to Hireright. Theinterview itself included a brief company overview, then I met with several different potential section managers who later did a selection process of which interns they each wanted. Only a very short offer acceptance window after the offer had been made, like a week or two at most.

Interview Question – What did you dislike about your previous internship experience?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation whatsoever, thier offer was a 25% increase over my previous internship an I was satisfied.
