Pros
Benefits, Flexible work hours, and job security
Cons
I have been working for MITRE for several years and have recently witnessed some business practices that do not sit well. MITRE partnered with a smaller firm that brought MITRE a multi year contract with a new client. The MITRE team did not have the knowledge base that our partner did and they carried MITRE through the first year of the work. When the next year of work started to develop, MITRE leadership started moving towards dropping our partner that brought us the work and severing the partnership so that MITRE could take the full contract. Is this how we treat partnerships? Specifically ones that protected our short comings and brought us work? Are these the type of business practices we want to teach our junior staff? Is this lack of integrity what we want to show our clients?
