Pros

Note: I work at an off-site so i do not get to experience what my colleagues experience at the main east coast sites. -Flexibility and work/life balance is amazing, they value taking time off and most managers work with you so you can get a work schedule that benefits yourself and them. -Most of the work is pretty interesting, it varies from site to site but i find that the aerospace stuff is pretty great. -Good benefits package and education assistance program -If you want to participate in any professional development activities (conferences, certs, classes), it is usually easy to get approval.

Cons

-Red Tape by the truckloads. -Some managers are more political then technical and their decisions greatly impact your work. There has been times where i feel like im working for reason since the current project will change dramatically after one meeting. -Working at a site greatly limits the amount and type of work you get as compared to our HQ. -Managers can sometimes be overworked which limits the mentoring opportunities they can give to us juniors

We are pleased to hear you enjoy MITRE’s work-life balance, benefits and educational assistance offerings. Management is currently looking at how best to make more roles available enterprise-wide as opposed to center- and site-specific.

Pros

Lots of training opportunities, great work-life balance, flexible hours, good benefits. I actually look forward to going into work every day to work on the multiple projects I support.

Cons

It feels like it is dominated by older management that doesn't always seem to quite understand the needs of the younger employees. Attrition lately seems to be a theme, but that also gives more opportunities for those of us who stick around to turn it around.
