I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems USA (Nashua, NH) in Nov 2010
Interview
I applied online at in August 2010 and was soon contacted for a phone interview with two current OLDPs. The interview was straight-forward and they asked questions about my school, project, and work experience. The interviewers were very friendly and willing to answer any questions I had.
In November, they had a 2-day on-site interview process. For their interview process, they brought nearly all of their current OLDPs to their headquarters in Nashua to participate and get to know the candidates. The first day of the on-site interview consisted of mingling with current program members, a presentation by their VP Operations, a presentation by a few of the OLDPs, a tour, a hands-on group activity, and dinner. The second day of the interview consisted of a 1-on-1 interview with one of the OLDPs and then 3 behavioral 5-person panel interviews. They made sure that the panel interviews were not repetitive by giving each one a theme (leadership, experience, and yourself). They did a good job of making candidates feel at ease during the panel interviews and throughout the entire process. You could tell that the OLDPs enjoyed what they were doing and that they had a true sense of community and comraderie in the program.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you had to give someone bad news and what did you do in the situation?
I applied online. I interviewed at BAE Systems USA
Interview
This interview was a 45-minute Zoom call with behavioral and technical questions included. The majority of the questions were background questions about my work experiences and education. It may have gone better if it had been in person. The interviewers were very stone-faced and did not react to any of the answers, which could have been a weed-out tactic.

Question 1
Solve an issue with labor backup in a bike factory... how would you fix it to be more productive?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems USA (Nashua, NH) in Oct 2022
Interview
The interview process was extremely well organized. I felt respected at every step of the process. I was also really happy that the final round interview was conducted in person. With so many interviews being done exclusively online, it made a big difference to be able to meet people and interview in person. The interview also included factory tours and Q&A's with current employees that are alums of the program which was really insightful as a candidate. It is clear how much BAE values this program, and I appreciate being treated with such respect even as a fresh college graduate.

The interview process comes with a few steps. I only made it to the phone interview but there is a on site or virtual interview after this. I applied from a campus career fair.
