      Great benefits but technical positIons are mostly support rather than actual hard science roles

      Pros

      Benefits are great including both medical plan and 401k

      Cons

      Many of the people I work with think they are highly technical but when compared to actual engineering positions they are really not that technically strong.

      Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoy the benefits that MITRE offers its employees. We listened to employee and manager feedback about the performance and development process and hope that the new process we implemented this year will help improve what wasn’t working as well with our previous system.

      Pros

      Mandate is good and if you find that work it's fun Colleagues are smart and interesting Local management is good

      Cons

      Trying to change culture but since top management doesn't change it won't work Senior management just doesn't "get it" Move to international arena shows mandate and work being done now is not enough to sustain the company

      Top-heavy structure limits advancement, but stable, steady and reputable

      Pros

      Depending on the project and location, flexible hours and mobile work add to the great work-life balance. Coworkers are intelligent, dedicated, and generally supportive. Stable and steady work, with good benefits.

      Cons

      Top-heavy structure and low turnover make it difficult to advance. Not a particularly youthful or lively place to work; Forced icebreakers and chess in the library is about as wild as it gets. Managers are MIA much of the time. The company has grown to the point where it is struggling to figure out what to do with itself. Benefits are being trimmed. It enjoys a cushy market niche and is still one of the more reputable government contractors around. If you are analytical, have good technical credentials, and enjoy collaborating to help the government, you will fit in well. If you are more of a doer, seeking advancement and cutting-edge technical work, you may get restless. Good for interns needing resume experience or late-careerists and retirees wanting to coast into an easy work routine.
