Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Tucson, Arizona

Process

Very unprofessional and racial profiling. It was a 2 day hiring event in Tucson AZ. I went on Sunday to submit proof of US citizenship.

Then on Monday there was a tour to their facility and then a networking session with their team at night. Everyone seemed tired and didn't want to talk. During networking, a white man profiled me and assumed I am Russian because of my foreign accent by saying 'How come you feel cold here in Tucson and you're from there?'. It was very uncomfortable since I am not Russian and I don't want to be profiled as Russian since it is a US defense company and everyone knows politics.

On Tuesday (my interview day). I interviewed with 3 engineers, after I answered the question "Tell me about yourself", one of the interviewers didn't like my past experience and mentioned that I might be a good candidate for another department at Raytheon but he didn't refer me to that department though. Then the other 2 interviewers were asking questions that are not related to the job description not even to my past experience in engineering. There were no technical questions and no behavioral. That made me feel profiled as well after what happened on Monday. The interview only lasted 20 mins.

Raytheon talks about diversity and multicultural environments when they don't actually accept differences. The interviewers didn't even look in my eyes when I was talking to them, This is very unprofessional to be discriminating against a US citizen that was born abroad and have a foreign accent.

They talk about diversity only to get funding from the government. They are fake.
