      Pros

      Work life balance is very good - direct management is actively engaged in employee development.

      Cons

      MITRE hires for life - normally a pro, but it means a few bad apples are left to wreak havoc and alienate teams. As a matrix organization, management is discouraged from and sometimes penalized for actively seeking to remove those bad apples.

      Pros

      Work-life balance as others note is a big one. I also really like working with a good mix of well-meaning staff. Very few of the back-stabbing, ladder-climbing folks that you find in other workplaces, but I've heard they exist. Luckily I've not had to deal with them. This is a place where junior staff, if they are lucky enough to be selected, can get valuable insights on how government contracting works so that they can leave to gain higher salary elsewhere. And if they plan it right, perhaps they return to MITRE where their experience is rewarded.

      Cons

      Nothing that you don't experience working elsewhere if the work primarily involves support of the US government, security, sudden project cancellations, not enough funding to pay for the work needed to do it right, etc.
