Decent pay, decent Hybrid work structure, chance to work with some very smart people

Cons

Non-Existent training, Incompetent Mid-Level Management, Upper Level Management who are too busy keeping themselves employed while they cut down a whole bunch of people below them in times of layoffs.

Pros

Proximity to interesting government sponsors and problem spaces Good 401k match Good health insurance

Cons

Company fired so many people during covid for not getting vaccinated, which was stressful and scary. A lot of resistance to working remotely during times when working remotely made the most sense. Fast forward, and they've fired so much fo the company due to gov cuts, but not in a way that makes much sense. Firings done by pulling spreadsheets of who is billing whta hours where without consideration for tenure, skills, etc. many people fired had nothing but great performance reviews. People in positions often do not have the skills for their job titles. For example, someone might be a data scientist or engineer with no trainign in those areas. Perhaps because org is matrixed and management does not often even share speciailized skills with dept. members. Scary stuff.

Pros

Great work-life balance New CEO cares about the MITRE employees and is vigilant and thoughtful about the future of the company Decent pay (might not be competitive with private sector) Great network with fellow colleagues Incredibly smart and interesting colleagues

Cons

Finding a job within a job sucks Not always on a project that you enjoy No dedicated sick leave (have to pull from your paid time off) Leadership can sometimes be out-of-touch with the lower level employees
