      Pros

      If you don't want to work hard or be proud of your projects, this is the place for you. If you are getting ready to retire, you will fit right in.

      Cons

      MITRE has fallen well behind industry in research and become a pseudo-consulting firm. I am part of a strategy and transformation department, and we waste more tax dollars than the government. In my experience, very few people show up to the office. If they do, they arrive 1-2 hours late and leave 1-2 hours early, all while billing 8 hours to the government. It has been similar to my military service. When I brought up concerns about quality of work and time billed, I was threatened and pressured to leave. There is a gap in mid-career professionals because the older employees will not accept other points of view or a faster pace. Change has been promised, but none has come.

      Pros

      Opulent buildings, offices, amenities. Very high end atmosphere. Smart people but don’t know mission space very well. They hire people like themselves so be very introvert at interview. Very nice location to work. You never have to leave during the day. Everything is there.

      Cons

      Much of the atmosphere I think is for show because when you try to get resources the answer is always that there isn’t any money. The real reason is there isn’t money unless you a friend of somebody who holds resources. I do not feel valued as an employee and interviewers were rude. That should have been a sign. I felt more valued at a start up with few resources but a common goal. The only goal I see at Mitre is to increase revenue. I thought that was the opposite of the goal.

      Thanks for your feedback. Our CEO has conducted several sessions online and in-person with employees where he discussed our mission and goals as an organization. You may also want to discuss this issue with your supervisor to better understand how MITRE’s goals connect with your role and contributions.
