MITRE Interview Questions

Two rounds, both behavioral First screening Second panel of all rulewriting analysts, interview was easy enough and pretty conversational Asked alot of the very basic behavioral questions like when have you failed, what is your work style etc

Email cordial, timely, good directions, pleasant enough of an interview. But the actual phone call to hire was terrible. It was explained there were only four applicants, and for some reason it was important to the caller that they mention I was the only 'girl' applicant. "Well, our first three picks were all hired elsewhere, do you still want the job?" Took the job out of necessity. Eventually, I was able to move around the company to friendlier colleagues.

Had an initial interview with one person, followed by a panel interview. Individuals on the panel were different from whom I was told I'd be interviewing with, which was fine but I think a sign that I was no longer a serious candidate possibly? Either way, I was completely ghosted by anyone I'd talked to after this and never heard from them. Perhaps I bombed the interview, fair enough, but requests for updates were ignored. Not a huge deal, but left a bad taste in my mouth.

Preliminary Screening Interview to learn about the company and yourself. This was followed by a Technical Interview done over webcam with 2-3 associates. Interview results were sent within a week of completion.

Simple and direct, mostly demonstrating evidence of exceptional ability, education history, going over various things and problem-solving some coding and different things Mitre is a great company to work for

Pretty laid-back interview process. The first interview was over the phone where they asked general questions related my background, coursework, and projects with a few basic questions about signal processing. Next interview was on Teams with similar questions related to background. I was asked to work through a problem and answer some basic questions about probability. Finally, I spoke to a member of HR where logistics such as location, onboarding process, and compensation were discussed.

There was an initial behavioral interview over the phone paired with phone technical interview that asks you to identify and describe the functionality of code in various languages or psuedocode.

One phone screen, then interview with the team, then chat with HR. Phone screen included coding questions, interview delved deep into your resume. Call with HR dealt with job logistics and etc.

Looking back on it, the interview process was a joke, and there's a few things that stand out to me now: • Was originally told it'd be hybrid, with 1-2 days a week in the office. I was then told it'd eventually be all back in office. • For a company that claims they're progressive, having multiple men at once interview a woman goes against that. Why were there no women involved? Are you not hiring any women for the positions at your company? • One of the interviewers went as far as saying, "if you don't mind not being paid well, you'll do good here." People need a living income to survive. There's no excuse for it, especially when you're federally funded. • Gave off "techbro" vibes. • Was asked a question I wouldn't even consider technical; was asked to give the steps on how to set up x, which I gave the steps on how to do so. I was then told that's not what they're looking for when that is pretty much the only answer to their question. All in all, it was just not a good experience. The interviewers did not really seem to know how to interview or even try to "sell" the job. The interview became increasingly uncomfortable, especially when some of them gave off an attitude. It honestly felt like a waste of time in the end.

5 interviews, including an hour-long interview to showcase past work I've done. They took 2-3 weeks in between each interview to communicate with me, then months after the last interview. The entire process took about 6 months. They offered me a job verbally twice then ghosted me and I received an automated message saying the job was not available anymore. Terrible experience.
