I was reached out to by the HR manager at first and the the engineering Hiring manager. The hiring manager was easy going and asked me why I got into aviation and engineering. Very little technical questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Textron Aviation (Wichita, KS) in Mar 2015
Interview
Interview on campus and was given an offer by the interviewer on the spot (something I had never seen before) only to have it pulled by HR and asked to interview on-site. HR Person/Recruiter was by far the least professional person I have dealt with thus far. Emails would be sent without a subject heading and the language in general was very informal and I was never reimbursed for my expenses.
Interviewed with about 12 people in 4 separate group interviews, which included two tours of the site. Engineers were very professional and questions were mainly behavioral, some slightly technical.
Interview questions [1]
