MITRE reviews

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.

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.
