Question 1
They asked me about specific projects on my resume
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at MITRE in Oct 2024
Interview
Like other reviewers here I had a fairly standard interview, consisting of a panel of 5 individuals who alternated between technical/programmatic/interpersonal questions. Overall it was a great interview and the team was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
However my review is a warning to others due to lack of decency by the talent advisor. After being down selected I waited 7 weeks, foregoing other offers, only to be told the project had been cancelled the day before Thanksgiving. Despite my best efforts to reach out to the advisor, I would only receive ambiguous replies days or weeks later. So my advice would be if you’re not receiving definitive answers from your talent advisor, move on or at least prioritize your other options.

Question 1
Can you describe some uses cases where leveraging AI within the IAMD domain specifically regarding C2 would benefit the operational community, and prioritize your approach and employment of such tools?
I applied in February, heard back mid April after I found another position. I would've accepted the offer first but it took way too long. Outside of that, no complaints.
