Question 1
They asked about my ability and speed in reading and understanding code I've not seen before.
Pleasant experience but slightly long wait times; I suspect this was due to Covid. 1 technical screening followed by 4-5 interviews with HR/other analysts. Mostly behavioral questions about past projects and ability to function in collaborative environments. Technical questions included basics of optimization and statistics.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MITRE (McLean, VA) in Jun 2014
Interview
There was a phone interview before hand and then a half day interview session. I had one on one interviews with three to four people. I also needed to give a 30 minute presentation for members of the department. The presentation was supposed to be on a technical topic that you had experience in or a technical project that you had worked on in the past.
