I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Redondo Beach, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Initial contact was at the college career fair. I was scheduled for a campus interview (UCLA) within the next week. And then I was contacted by a hiring manager at Space Park to come in for a panel interview about a couple weeks later. Interview was with 3 different engineers and engineering managers. Relatively easy questions, nothing too technical, mostly conceptual questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No question was too difficult. I was asked, "There are 2 different types of workers in the work force. Those who try to learn everything first, then attack their task, and others who bring their ideas to the project and learn as the project as they go while trying to applying their ideas. How would you come up to speed on this project?"
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman
Interview
Thorough and standard interview to assess your level. Mainly asked me to introduce myself and what kind of experience I have. After the interview, I was given an offer in a week.
had a call with Hiring manager and we discussed projects and coursework in wireless communications, some behavioral questions, why the company, and in general it was pretty standard interview for an entry level role
Applied online, got a screening call, then a phone call/teams call with a team of engineers who asked technical and behavioral questions, then got offer after this was all done.
