Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
None, their HR department was absolutely inflexible - take it or leave it. This was the only negative aspect to the interview/offer process.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
I met the representatives at a University Career fair. Got invited to a 1:1 interview which basically was more of them trying to assess if I would fit in. About 3 weeks later I had a phone interview with the concerned Manager. This was more about discussing courses/projects from my resume and some behavioral questions. The manager seemed pretty impressed and was very enthusiastic about hiring me. About two days later I received the offer which I accepted.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Melbourne, FL (took a day)
The interview process consisted of: 1) a brief but imprompted phone interview, 2) a series of 1 one 1 interviews with various engineers from various groups within Rockwell Collins. The phone interview was mostly concerning availability and a few questions regarding items from my resume. From there I was told I would be contacted regarding an in person interview, which I was, relatively quickly (approximately 1-2 weeks time). The interview was scheduled via email contact. Since I am relatively close to the Melbourne area I drove to the site and the interview was held there. The environment was relatively lax with most people seemingly wearing business casual (in many cases there were some wearing jeans). For some reason, various parties were not present who would be interviewing me, but I was quickly scheduled with my first group, which was actually a group of two people and myself. They asked various questions about the work I would be doing and presented me with a schematic to identify various components of and then provide a description of the circuits overall function. The following interview was similar except it was a 1 on 1 with a newer, younger employee. Following this interview I interviewed with the same person who had intially phone interviewed me. Another scheduling error resulted in this interview taking place in two locations: From the first site I initally started at I drove to another building where I was shown some of RC's test facilities and other equipment. This wasn't so much part of the interview as a way to kill time, I suspect until the following interview could take place. Overall, most of the questions asked seemed to be of a behavioral nature and not so much a technical one.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Cedar Rapids, IA (took 2 days)
First contact was through the university career fair. I waited in line, presented my resume and spoke with a representitve for about 15 minutes, which was slightly longer than the other companies I spoke with. That evwning I received a call at roughly 8pm to schedule aan interview the next day. The next day the person I interviewed with was not the same person I spoke with on the day prior. They had 4 or 5 interviews going at a time in a large room, while most of the other second day interviews I attended only had two or three. The next step was accepting an invitation for an onsite interview. Naturally they paid for hotel' flight anf rental car. The onsite consisted of, for me, 4 job interviews for 4 different position. each interview was one hour 45 minutes, totalling about 7 hours, but some interviews were a bit shorter. I received an offer, contingent on background and drug test, about a week later. Overall very few technical questions, most consisted of how you communicate and work with people and how you would evaluate ssomething (systems specific)

Interviewed May 2011 in Cedar Rapids, IA (took 1 week)
Submitted my resume on-line and got a phone call from HR rep within 12 hours. Arranged phone interview with HR Rep, which went well. HR Rep arranged phone interview with hiring manager. Typical interview about job responsibilities, location, etc. that seemed to be going well. When I asked about department structure/number of employees/was this a new position or replacement, hiring manager became vague. In spite of promise at end of call that someone would be in touch either way, never heard another thing from HR or hiring manager.
