Don't do it

Pros

Competitive pay Interesting middle ground between working for the government and yet not ACTUALLY working for the government agencies

Cons

Horrible leadership at C level Slow promotion ladder due to congested and complicated layers Lost technical edge, now we talk about doing the work, we can't actually do it High level of political maneuvering at VP and senior manager level while being simultaneously technically inept

Great place to work!

Pros

Flexibility with work location (hybrid = 50% in office) and time spent in office (not required for full day). Expected to perform work duties/minimal micro-managing. Project works exists within ALL areas of government. Matrixed environment allows you to work across different disciplines, if desired.

Cons

Your experience is as good as your project leadership and where you sit within the company. Not all mission areas, or departments, within MITRE operate similarly. Work is based on ability to get projects; if project work ends, it feels like looking for a job within the company.
