What are you a Master of
Tell us how you resolved a conflict and the step taken to resolve the problem.
Tell me a time you were given a report with bad data, how did you handle it.
What was one project that made you proud of your work?
The interview questions were pretty standard HR-approved boilerplate. The technical questions were fairly easy and I felt the freedom to be honest when I wasn't completely sure of the answers.
Why do you want to work for the NSA?
Hypothetical: our client has the following problem.... How would you get started to solve it?
Due to the nature of the work that you will perform (which is ill-defined upfront), the questions vary wildly, but, the most perplexing question was - "Why do you want to work at MITRE"? In light of you probably not knowing what kind of project or task you may actually work on, this question is a "loaded potato". The most unexpected question was - "If you could change one thing about your former employer, what would it be"? The answer, if you are thinking outside of the box, may be critical to getting and keeping your job. For example: (1) Are you capable of independent evaluation - critical thinking? (2) Are you a "big or little picture person"? (3) Can you constructively evaluate how your former employer can improve its internal culture for the better"? Your viewpoint and approach to how answer this question may speak volumes about whether you are the right person for supporting MITRE's client base - the federal government. The federal government has elements within it that are big and small, simple and complex; with problems that are easy or nearly impossible to resolve. If you join MITRE, you are saying you are ready to meet a plethora of unforeseen challenges - head on.
