Pros

If you don't want to work hard or be proud of your projects, this is the place for you. If you are getting ready to retire, you will fit right in.

Cons

MITRE has fallen well behind industry in research and become a pseudo-consulting firm. I am part of a strategy and transformation department, and we waste more tax dollars than the government. In my experience, very few people show up to the office. If they do, they arrive 1-2 hours late and leave 1-2 hours early, all while billing 8 hours to the government. It has been similar to my military service. When I brought up concerns about quality of work and time billed, I was threatened and pressured to leave. There is a gap in mid-career professionals because the older employees will not accept other points of view or a faster pace. Change has been promised, but none has come.
