Pros

Great pay. Great benefits. Flexible hours. Excellent work life balance. Wide variety of work types, locations, and customers. If you're motivated, you can expand and deepen your skills, improve education, etc, and work all over the world.

Cons

In general, stagnant work force in terms of promotion opportunities. Greater focus on becoming an expert in a field vs moving up. Work options are severely limited by location.

Thanks for your review. We’re happy to hear that you enjoy the pay, flexible hours, and work-life balance. Management is currently looking at how best to make more roles available enterprise-wide as opposed to center- and site-specific.

Pros

The flexible schedules for most employees was nice, and they placed emphasis on work/life balance. Additionally, some employees were permitted to work from home permanently.

Cons

The salaries are low, and it is difficult to get promoted. The easiest way to get promoted seems to be to leave the company and return. There are too many middle managers who have very little relationship with their employees. Many departments have managers, associate department heads and department heads, and each is entrenched. Another issue that I saw over 10+ years at MITRE is that many people are forced out of their positions over personality conflict, age or cost-related issues.
