Pros

The work is interesting and the staff in the trenches are a joy to work with.

Cons

The Executive Level Team is comprised of narcissistic sociopaths whose only talent is political survival, which helps them and no one else.

Pros

The benefits of a direct work model (charging each of your hours in a 80hr pay period to specific projects) is you get the autonomy to say yes or no to whatever work comes your way. This allows you to try out a lot of different roles in different projects and mold your own unique path.

Cons

You can just get kicked off a project with no warning and no real reason except "it wasn't in the budget anymore" or "we didn't get as much money from the sponsor as we wanted," and because MITRE is not-for-profit, there's no overhead charge code for that missing project time. You either need to scramble to find a new project or use your PTO to fill that allocation. There's also no guarantees to have project work once you get a job here. You have to continue to network and find work basically the whole time.

Pros

The people that are left are amazing. 401k matching is nice

Cons

The change in upper management a few years ago has dramatically changed the culture. They no longer see the employees as valuable resources, instead they worry about cutting costs while acting like kings.
