      Pros

      Great company to work for. Good work/life balance and flexibility.

      Cons

      Quite often the decisions made are personal and emotional rather than business. Decisions are made to be debated time and time again. May not be in all of the organizational groups within MITRE but it is a general sentiment that is shared.

      Pros

      The company stays true to sticking closely to maintaining a work - life balance. Offer "free" opportunities to refresh skills or try new things with internal training.

      Cons

      Make sure you will be satisfied with your starting salary for a few years, because not only is the method of laddering disappointing, but unless you are personal friends with management you can forget opportunity for promotion within. Training provided is limited and overall lacks substance.

We hope that our current employees will be pleased with the new performance and development process that aims to foster more meaningful development and growth conversations between employees and their management. It will also enable us to continue to keep our salaries competitive with the market.

      Great company that can do better

      Pros

      As many others have said, you cannot beat MITRE’s work-life balance and benefits. Some assignments are better than others but you can manage to move around over time and find a good niche. People are generally respectful and it is a great place to land if you need a break from a hectic for-profit corporate environment. Among the staff, there is a strong sense of altruism and desire to help the government.

      Cons

      Advancement and promotions can be painfully slow. Inbred management would rather be doing PowerPoint engineering or talking about the engineering stuff they did years ago. You can lose your edge if you hang around too long.

      Thank you for taking the time to comment. We agree that our staff’s strong sense of altruism and desire to help the government is part of what makes us successful. We encourage you to speak to your manager or an HR representative to discuss where you might like to take your career and ways to accomplish your development goals.
