Software Engineer(Internship) Interview

Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MITRE in Mar 2026

Interview

It was 2 rounds. The first was a phone interview with one of the department leads. Basically just a resume deep-dive. Second round I had to present a technical project to 2 people. They asked follow up questions about the project and then some more basic behavioral/technical questions about other things on my resume.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MITRE (McLean, VA) in Feb 2025

Interview

Since it was a early-college level internship, there was only a phone screen and follow-up behavioral, which was around 40-60 minutes for the latter, with all types of typical interview questions (biggest problem you've faced, etc etc) coming at you, from a project director.

I interviewed at MITRE

Interview

Simple, straightforward. Not many hard questions and seemed to go over basics that most people in the field should already be familiar with. Also included some interesting puzzle questions that seemed to gauge personality/thinking.
