I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at MITRE
Interview
My school had a connection with MITRE and I sent my resume. After 2 months I was emailed to schedule an interview with a software engineer. The questions that he asked, I did not answer too well. I was not expecting his definitions and compare/contrast questions about programming on the first interview. I thought I failed.
I was called a week later to schedule an interview with 6 people in a row at the MITRE campus. This was scary, but the actual interview was rather repetitive. I told repeated my story about myself several times and did not have much of a test of my skills. Where I did show my skills, I just tried my best to explain my thinking and I did not finish any of their questions in the time limit.
Object oriented Programming stuff is Important to know! definitions!

Average experience. Had a call with directly with leadership. Asked me about my resume and experiences. Additionally, they asked me about my future goals. Did not go past the first round interview which was a 30 minute behavioral.
Standard questions regarding the coursework I listed on my resume. The position was communications so I got a lot of questions about signals and systems. A few questions about what I was interested in.
