Pros

MITRE has their hands in all sorts of interesting work across government. It's easy to slide into new and different work areas so you can always continue to grow.

Cons

Lately the company has been in this growth oriented mindset which turns into quantity over substance. MITRE of yore hired experienced staff who'd seen it all and could be relied on to do what industry could not, however, when I left the company most hires were fresh out of college. The program management structure had also lost its customer-first focus. Many challenges came from the highest levels of management.

Pros

Work-life balance is real. Sometimes interesting research projects and public-good mission. Stability. Many other things people have said. It's a big place so your experience can vary from group to group. Non-profit has many culture pros.

Cons

CEO calls are frustrating but he's leaving at the end of 2024. Projects are sometimes hard to get and you might be on your own. There has been a bigger push for per-project billing so there have been cuts to internal tools and resources. Strict hierarchy which is hard to communicate through.
