Currently employed at a Raytheon competitor

Applied through Rayjobs.com

Contacted by recruiter expressing interest in interviewing me 3 days later who left message on voicemail

Took 3 weeks for them to return my calls and set up an interview date.

On interview day, all interviews were conducted at what appears to be HR offices where the hiring manager(s) visit. Interviewers were Sr. Staff Engineers / Front Line Managers with years of applicable engineering experience. Questions varied from technical acumen to experience in similar jobs. Questions were professional and experienced, none of the "on-the-spot thinking" games I play when I interview candidates.

Their parking lot had a lot of hybrids. This concerns me since the environmentally conscious engineers I work with currently are split about 50/50 diesels/hybrids. I saw 1 diesel car in their parking lot and it wasn't in their preferred "High Efficiency/Carpool" parking. From driving around in their parking lot I saw a lot of new cars (more than where I'm at now) which seemed superficial to me.

Overall positive interview, and I would accept an offer from them for the right opportunity/compensation plan. I've known many former employees who speak highly of their experience at Raytheon.

What will be the hardest part of leaving your current employer?
