A recruiter called me and asked me to apply for two of their jobs in Tucson because apparently I was the perfect fit for two positions. Had phone interview with nothing technical in particular. Then they asked if I wanted to go for personal interview to Tucson. They flew me to Tucson, although I mentioned on my weed out interview I didn't meet one one of the required skills, by then I was already thinking something was shady. They put me in this $200+ a night hotel along with about 50+ candidates for two nights, gave us tours of their installations, had two interviews on the last day but no offer. The whole process seemed to me more like Raytheon needs to spend some of the budget in flying candidates for interviews, perhaps there is a clause in their newly acquired contract that stipulates they have to do that. They are spending thousands of taxpayer dollars in fruitless interviews. Beware although they mention all expenses are covered they won't if you don't follow their policy to the dot.

Hiring team was made up of one. HR was not part of the interview, but they just handled the correspondence until the interview day. Interview was competency-based mixed with a few technical questions, overall it lasted 1 hour. There was no feedback heard from the hiring manager even though it was mentioned several times feedback would be given to the candidate regardless of the outcome.
