I applied online. I interviewed at MITRE (Colorado Springs, CO) in Mar 2019
Interview
I applied online. Was reached out by a recruiter to interview with the hiring manager.
Arrived early and spoke with the project manager (who was the lead engineer on the team). Then came in two other engineers. Each one had a question to ask. One was an algorithms question, another asked to optimize Java code on a piece of paper, the final asked me to write a leetcode-style program on a whiteboard.
I was honestly caught off-guard by the amount of technical questions for an internship.

Phone screen round and another round that involved a presentation of any CS project I worked on. Spent a little bit of time asking about the experience on my resume to.

Question 1
Asked a lot of questions involving my experience on my resume.
This was in 2022 Fall - I had a 30 minute phone screening, followed by a 4 hour long interview including 2 hours of conversations with team members and 2 hours of technical questions. The technical questions were probably around LeetCode Easy/LeetCode Medium, and you could use any language of choice.

Question 1
2 LeetCode style questions, in between Easy and Medium.
Very professional interview where everyone was respectful and helpful. It was more of a learning experience than anything and helped me getting the job and meeting my peers. It was a great experience.
