Interviewed Mar 2010 in Cedar Rapids, IA (took a day)
Secured the interview through a Georgia Tech career fair. The interview was an all-day long event, and consisted of talks with 3 departments. Filled out paperwork and listened to presentation about Cedar Rapids area during breakfast. The actual interview process began shortly thereafter. Interviews consisted of behavioral and technical questions, but were mostly technical. I was caught off guard when the very first group I interviewed with asked me to go up to the whiteboard and teach them something from a technical subject of my choosing. Fortunately I was able to pull something out of my head quickly. I came to expect this from the next groups I talked to after it happened a second time (and yet a third time later in the day). They also like to quiz you on the spot. One of the one-on-one interviews consisted of a printout of a short 50-line c code program, and the interviewer asked me to determine what its resultant output was... normally I wouldn't be bothered by this, but the code was full of tricks... coding practices a good coder would never use.
If you interview with them, be prepared for on the spot quizes and spur of the moment requests to go up to the whiteboard. Be sure that you don't "inflate" your credentials in your resume. They may quiz you on work history, school projects, courses, etc... but that's to be expected. They especially liked to ask questions pertaining to what was learned in (a) given course(s).
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The offer was terrible. I have a 4.0 from a top 10 graduate engineering program with 7 years experience (albeit, 4 years as an intern) in the field (related to what I would be doing at Rockwell Collins) and all they offered me was 64k. When I told them I would need more than that, they countered with 67k with a 3k signing bonus. I politely declined their offer. Don't expect to get a competitive salary at this company, that is, unless perhaps you are an SME.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Cedar Rapids, IA (took a day)
Applied to a req. online, got a call a couple days later by recruiter. In the end, I'd say about 4 managers ended up calling me to ask me about my application. The phone interview was pretty simple, just to confirm that I am who I said I was. The face-to-face interview started with a presentation by myself about what I'd worked on, followed by questions by individuals. The rest of the day was spent interviewing each manager individually along with a tour of the facility.

Negotiation Details
No ability to negotiate, but the sign-on bonus was pretty generous. Unfortunately, accepting the bonus and relocation money means you need to spend at least 1 year at RCI. Consider this carefully as 1 year can seem like an awfully long period of time while you're waiting.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Sterling, VA (took a day)
After the online application there came a call for a in person interview. Time and date were arranged by phone and confirmed by e-mail. I showed up at the appointed time and was met propmtly by the HR person. I was interviewed by a quality person from the company in a very professional manner. The conversation covered my experence and qualifications. The interviewer was knowledgable and friendly. The company culture was relaxed in that few coats and ties were visible but no blue jeans allowed. The work areas were clean and well organised. After my interview the HR person gave me a great tour that answered all of my remaining questions. All in all Rockwell Collins appeared to be a great place to work and I wish they had sellected me.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Cinda, KY (took 1+ week)
Talked with about 3-4 guys and they asked some technical questions and read some stuff on my resume. They were very bad at responding and stuff. They asked questions unrelated to the job I was applying for like some stuff related to analog circuits. They try to ask some tricky ones so be on guard.
