Pros

Good people, flexible work schedule and competitive benefits.

Cons

MITRE has a new CEO. This has resulted in many leadership changes. They are making many changes and it's not clear whether they are for the better. The corporation has hired many new employees because it anticipates more work. It's not clear that this is actually occurring. Newly hired and current employees are on overhead for extended periods of time. The company is in the process of layoffs in Corporate which is not being handled well. Also, the increased hiring of technical staff is concerning because work seems too thin. Layoffs of technical staff may occur. It has been a good company, but don't recommend working here until things settle.

Pros

When I first began, there were plenty: rewarding work, great teams, lots to learn and do, and substantial recognition of achievements. Flexible work hours and good benefits rounded out a thought-provoking, engaging, and stable work environment.

Cons

After spending more than half my professional career at MITRE, I left for a better paying and healthy work environment elsewhere. The stress is overwhelming due to a "workforce shaping" restructuring framed as "agility' or “progress” and instead appears to be more about specifically making employees fearful, disenfranchised, and disempowered, especially those in operational roles. Just trying to survive or "roll with the punches" paralyzes some segments of the workforce.
