I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at RTX BBN Technologies (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Overall, the interview process was extremely arrogant.
I was asked an actual LeetCode Hard Dynamic Programming problem among other various debugging tests for an entry level position.
Word of advice: If you are going to require a FAANG level interview candidate, you better be prepared to provide FAANG level salaries. If the company was so prestigious and innovative, why did they get bought out by a defense contractor?
Applied on their website. 1 hour phone screen followed by a take home code challenge. Went onsite for 6 hours of interview with over 8 staff members.
Onsite was not too difficult but had a bad experience. Most was behavioral and questions about work you've done. 1 staff member gave a whiteboard challenge which was relatively simple to solve. 2 other asked some Java and CS questions (threading, classes, jump tables). Was told towards the end that a member thought I did not know how to code (yikes). A staff member presented bad body language (put their legs on the table) and despite their claims that they use whatever technology is best for the job; nobody demonstrated it. There is lack of diversity in their staff, building is gloomy, and was ghosted after a long onsite.
There were definitely nice staff members (5-6 out of 8) but the others really kill your confidence and make you feel not respected.
