I really enjoyed the internship program at the Bedford campus, there were opportunities to learn through brown bags, intern events like hackathons, and social events like foosball tournaments. I also really enjoyed my project.
What I wish was different
Nothing I can think of.
Advice
Be prepared to read a lot of papers for research. Also get involved with several of the activities offered to make the most out of the experience.

Electrical Engineering Intern

What I liked
I adored the other interns and full-timers I met while at MITRE. I met them mostly through MITRE-facilitated events; they have a pretty structured intern program that you can get a lot out of if you're willing to take on some of the interesting intern challenges. I felt like the atmosphere was casual enough to really act like myself - not having to put on some artificial air of professionalism really helped me stay comfortable around the workplace.
What I wish was different
I found that work was a bit slow when I finished my primary task; I felt a bit awkward trying to ask for more to do at times, knowing that an already-busy staffer would have to dedicate time to diagnosing and assigning the task.
Advice
Come in ready to learn, because the people here are wicked smart.
