      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are better than anywhere else I looked. Colleagues are all eager to share knowledge, answer questions, and mentor someone just beginning their journey into work-life. There is a genuine emphasis on making sure you are interested in the projects you are working on and/or whether you would like to do something else. As a not-for-profit the work at MITRE doesn't have a profit motivation which really makes every effort about doing the job as well as it can be done, not as cheaply or as quickly as it can be done. MITRE is huge and thus has a wide variety of people, positions, projects, locations, and lifestyles. There are people who work completely from home. There are people who spend all of their time in labs. Some people work on satellites. Some people work in healthcare and law. There is also a huge emphasis on continuing to learn and grow as you progress in your career. The MITRE Institute offers many courses and there are generous tuition forgiveness and assistance programs. I'm confident no matter who you are you can find the right fit at MITRE.

      Cons

      - Interview process was slow. I was interviewing with multiple departments over the course of 4 months. COVID probably made this longer than usual. - Position is salary so extra hours worked do not get you more money. However, there has been no pressure to work above and beyond 40 hours a week.

      Inconsistent

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work-life balance is great with plenty of time off and flexible scheduling. Great job security, especially if you can maintain a security clearance. Good opportunities for training and learning new skills. It's a not-for-profit company. They're fairly open about their budgets and salaries, and they prefer quality work over quick fixes.

      Cons

      Pulled a bait-and-switch by making employees give up their offices just before requiring them to come in 2-3 days per week again. Benefits are good on paper, but in practice it's bottom-of-the-barrel healthcare plan administration and rife with processing errors. You'll often have several months of back-and-forth with HR and insurance companies to resolve issues. Especially bad with transgender healthcare, it's covered in theory but you won't get them to pay out without a lawsuit. Pay is decent, but you could do better in any other industry if you don't need this level of job security. Lots of slowdown, overhead, and general stress from the nature of government work.

      Thank you for recognizing many of the things that make MITRE a great place to work, including the opportunity to develop new skills. We work hard to create an environment where everyone can grow, thrive, and prosper. MITRE has a well-earned reputation for caring for our employees and their families. Our benefit plans provide inclusive and supportive coverage for all employees, including our LGTBQ+ identifying colleagues, and we continually seek feedback from our employees, market leaders, and other resources to ensure our benefit plans reflect our commitment to inclusion and diversity. We annually review all of our benefits to ensure they represent our diverse workforce. For any reason, if an employee has a question or concern about their coverage, or needs assistance with one of our vendor partners, they can reach out to our Employee Service Center, where they will receive prompt and personal assistance.
