      Pros

      Convenient work location Flexible work schedule - just need to record 80 hours per pay period Pretty good retirement benefits - the company's matching contribution fairly high Mostly decent co-workers

      Cons

      Limited career growth Limited job opportunities Company says it's different but really just another SETA contractor Department managers are out of touch with the workers and have an entitled attitude Work environment is terrible

      MITRE a place to die.

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If your not looking for advancement in your career and like giving Powerpoint presentations rather than building real systems this is the place for you. If you have retired from a real career and want a place to relax and offer suggestions to the government for how they should perform their job duties then this is the place for you. If you don't want to work hard and don't care about enhancing your career then you have come to the right place.

      Cons

      If your young and want to enhance your career this is not the place to work. MITRE is for the elderly who are just looking to coast through life.

      Pros

      I didn't have to do much, just hold down a chair. Great work/life balance because there wasn't much work. Awesome benefits--a retirement program that rivalled the TSP.

      Cons

      I used to love working at MITRE, so it truly pains me to see them falling to pieces. But man, they needed these huge RIFs. MITRE had become a difficult place to survive, bloated with tech professionals that were expected to find their own work within the company. The stellar MITRE of the 20th century had become a flailing and sinking pig in the 21st. So! Much! Waste! on stupid things like million-dollar parties, never-ending hiring of VPs with nothing to do, and executive retreats...the exact things that people complain about when they mention government waste. Instead of being responsible stewards, MITRE was an example of "don't let this happen to you." Old CEO drove MITRE off the rails; new CEO drove the final nail into the coffin.
