I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at MITRE (Ithaca, NY) in Mar 2011
Interview
Phone interview where I was asked the details on a project that was on my CV. They started with simple question on what my role was in the project and progressively entered into deep questions about the physics and engineering involved in the project. Since I was the lead in the project I was able to answer all questions adequately. The lesson learned was: don't lie on your CV.
