Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Low pay Toxic culture that favors tenure over competency Very low quality engineers. Many people who called themselves engineers had not written a line of code in 30 years and had zero experience shipping a product.

Pros

New CEO who seems like to talks to him employees, opposed to prior CTO who just talked

Cons

RTO is my reason for leaving. I am within a 50 mile radius of an office (MITRE policy requirement for being hybrid) yet at this site I work with NO ONE. Nonetheless I am required to swipe my badge 50% of days worked in a week. The commute is 2 hours and it just makes no sense and is impacting my productivity and mental health. At what point do I call myself a whistleblower and question if this badge swipe policy a way for MITRE to charge a higher rate for a hybrid worker than a teleworker?

Pros

If you can wiggle onto the right projects, there are smart and engaging people to work with on interesting problems.

Cons

Senior leadership directly tells you that you should happily accept less compensation because you are working for the government. They openly disrespect their workers and sneer when anyone asks for any improvements to the company
