Question 1
Questions regarding most difficult situation I had to resolve in my previous job.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at RTX in Jun 2011
Interview
Initial phone screen conducted by HR Manager. Good feedback, secong interview conducted by Hiring Manager. 3rd interview by Unit panel, focused on general management questions, behavioral questions, and case examples relating to work experience. Transparent process, questions were of standard screening nature and did not get into technical matters. Tried to be as concise as possible, and focus on core characteristic I believed they were attempting to quantify.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at RTX (Arlington, VA) in Oct 2010
Interview
After a detailed phone interview I was called back a few weeks later to come in for 4 hours of 1:1 interviews (6 people were being called in). A few weeks after that I was called back in for two additional 1:1 interviews (the final 2 candidates were being called back). Then after 8 weeks of calling and e-mailing the hiring manager (a call and e-mail every week or two) to find out the status of the position, not one call or e-mail was returned, I received a "HireRight" templated e-mail informing me that I was not selected.
After taking so much of my time I thought I would have received a simple phone call, just as a common courtesy.
If they treat people that way I'm glad that I didn't get an offer.
