I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MITRE (Aberdeen, MD) in May 2010
Interview
The interview process is very laid back. There is a phone screen, and then a group interview. During the group interview a technical presentation is given.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at MITRE (Bedford, MA) in Jun 2017
Interview
Brief one-hour presentation on a topic of choice, two technical whiteboard interviews, meeting with a manager and a lunch interview. The managers were extremely engaging, and they clearly wanted their technical team to select the most well-rounded candidate possible.

Question 1
I won't spoil the process, however, be prepared for anything. Focus on everything from your personal approach to answers, to algorithmic based questions. Many of the customers are government based, so if you cannot describe technical terms to a layman, this might not be the place for you.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MITRE (McLean, VA) in Jun 2010
Interview
I applied online through the company website. Several weeks later, I received an email asking me to do a phone interview. I did one, and they asked me about my background, my comfort with various programming languages, etc. About a week and a half later, they asked me to come in for an on-site interview. They flew me across the country and put me up in the Ritz Carlton. The on-site interview felt like a formality -- they didn't ask me any technical questions, and spent more time telling me about what they do. I got the offer a few days later.
