Behavioral Technical
MITRE likes to hire smart people and uses current employees to recruit from their past universities. This gives an edge to students at schools where MITRE employees also studied, as they understand the programs and what's needed. It's also better for grad students to have an inside person recommend them rather than just applying online. The process starts with a call from HR to see if your interests match a good area at MITRE. This part is pretty straightforward and the HR folks know their stuff technically, which helps find the right department. MITRE then flies you in for several one-on-one interviews with technical staff in the team you might join. After that, you'll meet with a section lead and then a division lead. One interview might happen during a meal, so be ready to chat and eat at the same time. These interviews will test your technical knowledge and are great for engineering-minded people because they play to your strengths.
