I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Carson, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
I met with a recruiter at my university's career fair. I followed up with an email based on a positive conversation I had at their booth. I was given an interview based on this position. I had to drive to the site where I'd eventually be working to have the interview. I was interview with several others at the same location but we interviewed one by one by our future project manager and one of the lead programmers.

What will the follow code snippet produce as output? It was a C++ question relating to pointers. I don't remember the details but I do remember there was an error hidden in the code snippet and I had to know what would happen.
They contacted me for an in person interview and then asked me leet code style questions. After the interview I heard back from a recruiter who set up another phone call with me

Technical questions and behavioral questions (STAR formatting) with the normal what draws you to work for us. Microsoft Teams meeting with a panel to review answers. Took roughly 1 hour and it was a very straightforward and easily made process.
Formal, not too stressful. Ensures you understand the basics and thay you know what you're talking about as you may be getting interviewed by somebody that's technical at some point.
