Engineer at MIT Lincoln Laboratory

Interview Details –
Only had a general first round interview with Lincoln, while on campus at Georgia Tech. I hadn't applied online or anything, nor did I have a interview scheduled. They gave an information session the night before and mentioned that they would be there the next day interviewing those who had applied with them online and heard back. I stuck around afterwards to talk to the man who led the session. I gave him my resume, but told him I wasn't scheduled to have an interview. He said to just stop by at some point during the day and he'd fit me in. Very nice man and very welcoming and genuinely interested in speaking with as many students as possible.
The interview was exactly 30 minutes long, one-on-one with the same man. The interview was mostly focused on my most recent research experience. They said they mostly like to hear you talk about your research and evaluate how well you can communicate it. He only dropped in a couple behavioral type questions. How do you deal with adversity? How do you prioritize and manage your time when you have multiple projects on your plate at once?
Overall, I felt it was a very smooth interview and I was glad I was proactive about arranging the interview within about 15 hours notice. I heard back from him the next week saying I was recommended for an on-site interview and if one of the hiring managers is interested in me, they will contact me. He said it could take several weeks, and this was only about a week ago.

You first pass an online coding test made of up of 4 questions. You have to score at lest 80% on each of those tests which are administered by codility. If successful, you are then submitted. If you are called for an interview, you meet with 3 engineers for 1-2hours at which time they ask you about your resume and and about one of the coding problems.
I was also asked about implementing a linked list and the difference between an initialized character array and a constant poiner to char.
