After applying online, Raytheon recruiter called me, did a phone screening, and then asked me to attend a "hiring event". I checked with the recruiter and was told I was going to interview for a specific position that I applied for. When I got there, despite assurances that I was there to interview for a senior-level position, the actual hiring event was for entry-level only.

The manager doing the interviewing said they were only hiring entry level, and if they did hire it would be for a job that was several months in the future. There was a major disconnect between what the Raytheon recruiter told me over the phone vs what the Raytheon managers were looking to hire.

They require a Social Security number from you before they will allow you to enter the hiring event.

This is so they can check your Clearance. Everything about the event was setup "my way or the highway" feel to it, they were just looking for entry-level people with a Clearance.
