I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Textron Systems in Feb 2015
Interview
Spoke with recruiters at a career fair and exchanged business cards for my resume. Received a call the next day with an interview offer. The interview was 45 minutes approximately and very relaxed. There were two interviewers, one engineer and one hiring manager. The interview mostly went like a conversation.

I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Textron Systems in Apr 2015
Interview
They talked about my resume for the most part. A few questions about object oriented programming. After that it was pretty casual and we talked about career goals and what I could accomplish at the company.
We talked about about everything from what they do with UAVs to their commercial aircraft simulators. They really appreciated my curiosity and enthusiasm, so do some research before the interview. Know your resume, study some basic software engineering concepts beforehand, and be relaxed and you should do fine.
