United StatesPosted Sep 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My experience felt unusually low-friction because of how I was connected to the organization.

For the internship path, I had only one phone interview where we mainly talked about class and side projects and my career interests—there weren’t technical questions in the way I’d been expecting. After that call, I didn’t hear anything for about a month, and then I was offered the internship.

Separately, I also saw how referrals or existing proximity could streamline things. When I was already working side-by-side with people at MITRE, the process felt more like a confirmation than a high-stakes evaluation, since they already knew my capabilities and history.
