MITRE reviews

Salary in HR is low as well as being able to continue education through school or the MiTRE institute is hard if you are a non exempt employee you cannot flex your time. So when they tell you all the great opportunities at MITRE make sure to see if your dept allows them.

In my experience, MITRE struggled to provide quality work. A few quality projects (which are actually useful) are financing an incredible amount of complete nonsense across the company. It has 20-30 times the number of employees it needs; every project has too many cooks in the kitchen. The culture is one of faking it; very little cutting edge or interesting work is done, yet all projects are somehow framed as successes. It's internal research program is a complete disaster and a sad use of tax-payer money. Models and prototypes are often built for absolutely no reason. MITRE occupies an important space in between the government and contractors, but this former employee is giving it an efficiency rating of 10%. And with your taxpayer money, you should be concerned.
