      Pros

      Coming from a defense contract company, I found MITRE to be a company that allows you to get your hands involved in things far beyond your job title. Some programs and departments lack a bit of structure, so if you're able to step in and develop a solid process (like say for software code development), you will be greatly rewarded and appreciated. Flexibility schedule, competitive pay and benefits. Promotional raises are also very competitive.

      Cons

      Year-to-year raises are sub par. Being that they're located in the greater Boston area, they should invest in a Cambridge site to attract local college students (MIT, Hardvard, BU, NEU).

      Pros

      MITRE works on interesting and challenging problems for our government sponsors. Great work/life balance - little to no overtime is expected. MITRE management cares about and invests in employees' careers and development. The culture is devoted to providing good R&D to help out the US government and taxpayers. Excellent benefits for the industry: pay, retirement matching, healthcare, facilities, and time off.

      Cons

      As a government FFRDC there are lots of bureaucratic policies, mostly imposed contractually by the government. Additionally as a hierarchical matrix organization, employees often have to deal with "lots of bosses."
