The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Textron Systems in Jan 2010
Interview
I found out about the position from a friend. I had an initial phone screen with the hiring manager for half an hour or so, then an onsite interview for 2 or 3 hours with 5 or 6 people, then a brief discussion with an HR rep to discussion salary requirements, and then a phone call to confirm acceptance.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Textron Systems
Interview
Was asked to do an on site interview prior to my schools career fair. Was generally straightforward and was given the opportunity to have all my questions and concerns answered as well. The guy was very nice but unfortunately I never heard back from them even to decline my application.

Question 1
What is one way you failed in a job and what did you do to correct that faliure?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Textron Systems
Interview
The interview process involved a phone screening, which was conducted by an HR recruiter, and an on site interview. AAI initially insisted that I drive to the interview and assume the cost of travel and lodging. Due to the fact that I am located out of state, I refused. Subsequently I was contacted by AAIs travel agent who made the necessary arrangements. I made sure that the airfair, lodging, and rental car reservations were prepaid by AAI. The morning of the interview I discovered that AAI had planned a full interview schedule with no lunch break. I spent the entire day in interviews and was not allowed to eat lunch. In addition I had to interrupt an interview in order to find a rest room. After returning home, I submitted a reimbursement request for mileage to the airport, parking, and meals. AAI did not reimburse me for the expenses I incurred on the trip. The interview itself was disorganized, with interviewers swapping time slots at the last minute. There were also instances of interviewers passing me off to subordinates or co-workers who were not on the interview schedule and had no idea who I was or why I was there.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Textron Systems (Hunt Valley, MD) in Mar 2012
Interview
The interview process was very painless and pleasant. If you really know yourself and know why you want to work at AAI, it shouldn't be a problem. They asked very specific questions about my resume and my experiences. They wanted to know more and more about one of my resume experiences and probed me about it. That day, I interviewe with 6 different people all for 30 minutes each. The people, office, and work cultures seems very ...technical for a lack of a better word. It's an engineering field, so I don't expect colorful, happy interiors and people. However, the people looks very pleasant and nice.
