Software Engineering Interview Experience

Process

I initially applied for the job via campus recruiting and had an on-campus interview. Mostly behavioral questions, only talked briefly about programming concepts. Raytheon flew me down for a hiring event in Tucson (180 or so candidates, mix of intern and full-time) 6 weeks later. They put on quite a show, putting us up in a Marriott resort and doing a big on-site tour.

There was potential for up to 5 interviews on Friday morning, and they allowed us to wine and dine with employers the night before (and get more interviews if we wanted). I just had one interview with a panel of three people - pretty comfortable, allowed me to lead in directing the conversation mostly. Got an offer that night.

Questions

They asked me to talk about a particular job on my resume and how I had dealt with difficult people there.
